All dressed up and nowhere to go

A little while ago I took the girls shopping around Taunton for some new clothes. We were mainly after a new dress for Leilani because I noticed that most of her dresses were really too small for her. Lani has also been wanting to wear Emily's clothes a lot of the time lately (mainly her old ones) and it was causing a few problems so I figured it was time to get her a few new items and explain that she can't wear Emily's clothes anymore (and it worked really well).

I'm not usually into dressing my girls in the same clothes, and have hardly ever done it before. I'm not against it, I just don't normally choose to do it. I'm more likely to get the same top but in 2 different colours or something. But... when we saw these dresses in the last shop we went in (always the way) I couldn't say no! There were no other colours or similar styles, so I ended up getting 2 the same! The girls were so excited and Lani was particularly excited to 'be a twin!' We came home and after the girls had their bath they tried them on and we took a few photos outside. We later did a fashion show for Daddy!

Leilani was most excited about getting some new church shoes too... or as she calls them clompy shoes! It took us a few months to find these, and nearly every Sunday morning I would be reminded that she needed some clompy shoes for church like Emily's (her old ones!) So it was a bit of a successful day really... but maybe not for the bank account!!



Not too sure why they decided to start jumping, but I just love Emily's hands in the picture below!





Just wouldn't be right if Lani didn't pull some funny poses...



... and then watch Em try and copy her!



They had fun... and then came in and ate a sandwich with their sunglasses on ??? Weird!!!

Because everyday is different and we can't remember them all, I thought I had better start writing them down. Welcome to life in the Challis home - where everyday is different!
