It's Good to See 'Em Again

That's the Rockies I know...the ones who suffered an embarassing 13-1 loss to the Red Socks last night in Game 1 of the World Series.

Pathetic.

Hopefully the change in pitchers tonight will make things better. Because if not...yikes. We should just quit now.

But we're still trying to be supportive. Easton is wearing a purple t-shirt today and put on his daddy's hat:

Dalton didn't really want to wear the hat:

But he still looks cute and happy:

We even went and got special Rockies doughnuts today:

Maybe those are magic sprinkles? They need all the help they can get.

In other news, I just have to share these pictures. Some of you have already seen these photos. But, I'm hoping you guys will have a better visual of my dilemma to find my oldest child clothes that fit. He is 35 inches tall (at least) which is at least 10th percentile. But as you've also heard, he's only 23 pounds. The kid is a stick. I measured his hips today and he's only 16.75 inches around there. His legs (from hip to heel) are half of his height. Anyway, his old jeans that used to fit in the waist are now too big in the waist. He's gotten taller but thinner. So, I want an adjustable waist which doesn't typically start until the 2T size. Here is what he looks like in those:

They are on the 7th button hole on either side to adjust the pants to stay put. But, they're long.

But see how skinny this boy is:

Those are Old Navy "regular" fit. Go down one size to a 18-24 month and they're almost too short:

His socks hang out. He doesn't care but I do. And those ones still fall off his butt. Which I suppose makes them longer :)

Kelly has offered to help us out. Bless her heart.

Okay, that's all from me other than we're going out to eat tonight at the 3 Margaritas that finally opened right by our house. Wooooo!

I still say Levi's/Oshkosh at Target might be your best bet, they are adjustable at the 18 month level and maybe even the 12 month level.

When is the last time E was weighed and measured? How is the nutritionist stuff going? I've been meaning to ask, but I keep forgetting!

Ah the waist issues. Fortunatly for us Wren wears those ridiculously large cloth diapers which keep his pants up. I have the "cloth diaper" pants and then I have the "disposable diaper" pants. Good luck...I do not see you going to cloth diapers anytime soon:>>>>

We are going out to eat tonight as well. No dishes for me.

Are you liking The Red Tent? I really enjoyed it but then again I love historical fiction books. I also read a book callled Mary of Magdeline that was real good but huge!!!

Go Rockies! Get it back boys! We're watching and routing for them as I type this!

I know last night's game was a big disappointment. I'm proud of Easton for still rooting on his team! The KK donuts would help get me in the spirit as well!

The one-legged boy pictures were cracking me up. I've done that to Adam before on accident and he was none to happy. :)

Good luck in the quest for pants that fit! Matt is super skinny too and pants are always an issue. It's hard to really get a prespective of how tiny E is from the pics . . . I think we just need to come down there and see for ourself!

We are having the same problem with Katie's pants. She is short on length but pants falling down.
Target is a great place for the adjustable pants. I also have a belt that I am constantly using for her.
Katie's measurements at her last doctor visit, 33 inches and 21.7 pounds. Skinny Minnie.
