“Storie, please hurry and get dressed, we are going to be late to softball!” I tell her for the fifth time last Saturday.
She comes out a few minutes later in this…
“Try again.” I say.
“Why?” My 4 year old trapped in a 40 year old womans body asks.
“Because stripes don’t match plaid and polka dots!”
She turns and walks away, as she is going down the hall I hear her say to my husband…
“Dad, you have to find me something else to wear, Mom doesn’t like what YOU picked out!”
Sweetheart, repeat after me: Stripes DO NOT match polka dots OR plaid!


Part comedian, part Dad, part athlete. He will boss around your children while they play ball.
Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.
Self proclaimed, she would be a webkinz dog. Because, "they're cute, and puppies are too. And they're sweet and they always get along with other puppies."
This mini-Martha Stewart can handle ANY craft you send her way. She isn't all bows and rainbows, she's got karate kid moves!
Not "Pick-Me-Up" like caffeine, she wants you to pick her up! AND NOW!
Anything that can be destroyed WILL be destroyed!
Practically Perfect in Every Way for now! Nicknamed "The Panda" she is rolly polly and lives by the motto, "the little one, is KING!"
The resident Labradoodle, Miller got his name because Mom won and got to name the baby! Need something chewed up? He'll take care of it. Especially if it's expensive..
OMG! I LOVE IT!!! I soooo needed a laugh this morning! That is the best! My husband would do the same exact thing!
Hahahaha! That’s hilarious! Tim has been getting better about picking out clothes for the boys but sometimes I just don’t understand how he comes up with an outfit for Amelia!
lol that is hilarious. my husband is the same way. I dont get it.
That cracked me up this morning! Our family is the opposite, I can’t match but my husband and daughter are great at it.
That’s is the way guys are…they are just guys (so cute)!!!!
She is sooo adorable! This was the funniest thing ever!
My daughter has same shorts ๐
Aww, Storie is my favorite. She is the cutestest and was so sweet when I meet her at your coupon class! It’s not her fault dad is such a guy! ๐
Love it!
That would be too cute for Monday of next week… Red Ribbon Week. Monday is “Drugs and I do Not Mix” day, and we are to wear clothes that do not match! ๐ PS, she’s still adorable!
Ha! I love the outfit…this actually looks like something my husband would pick out, my kids pick out better outfits then my husband does…at least all the colors went well together. ๐
Ha ha! My husband dresses my daughter the same way!
I think she looks great! ๐
It’s the style to miss match! Specially if you’re up in seattle ๐
I forgot to add… I couldn’t help but think of punky and those days… with miss matched socks.
she might’ve pulled off the stripes and polka dots (it’s becoming a new trend if the colors are similar) but def not the plaid. Nice try. too cute.
Stripes don’t go with polka dots and plaid? When did the standard change?
I read your post and all of the comments and I’m -still- laughing out loud! Thank you for the laugh!
