Fail

I tried so hard.  I really did.  I went out early, bought the boys a bunch of school clothes from Old Navy, threw them in the corner of my laundry room and forgot about them until the day before school.  I checked that off my list and put it out of my mind.

I should have had the boys try on the clothes to see if they actually fit right after I bought them.   Instead, I decided to wait until the day before.  That was a big mistake.

Owen tried on all of the clothes (size 8/9) and rejected them all.  Keep in mind he will be 10 in a month. They were too big for his taste.  He prefers skimpy clothes.  This shouldn't have surprised me in the least.  I cannot buy anything for him that doesn't involve a tear or two from him.  He is incredibly picky and once he finds something he likes, he will reject everything else and wear the same 2 things over and over and over.  Fail.

So, with my frustration mounting because Owen is refusing to wear clothes that are his size and that fit him, I move onto Chasey.  Fail again. The clothes labeled size 6/7 are way too big for my 7 year old.  I should know this.  I do know this because he is a little guy and he has always worn sizes that are smaller than his age.

We move onto Bennett.  Can you guess the result?  Fail.  The jeans I bought him were too low in the back when he sat down.  Why on earth do they make boy's jeans low rise?  I don't understand this at all.

So, I drag them into the car and head back down to Old Navy to exchange clothes and buy them a few things that they like and that actually fit.  Just me, my kids and the rest of Utah County.
