Oh, Luke

Just in case anyone out there is tossing fitfully at night, fretting that after moving to a small farming community in Iowa, the Miller family may have lost touch with their fashion sense....

Fear not.

We are still creating outfits in the most artful and creative sense here. Such as this little number, modeled by our smallest fashionista:

This look shows how to playfully mix patterns, ala Lady Gaga. If you believe you can pull off a look, you can.

In early April, this look embodied the spirit of "I'm ready for summer". The pants on backwards emphasize the individuality that encapsulated spring's fashion attitude. Spiderman sandals polish off this look.

And, of course, who can forget sweater vest on alone look #2. This trend really says, "I know you are looking at me, and I like it. Don't be jealous. Only imitate."

You can rest assured he had a long sleeved shirt under that when I dropped him off at preschool today. You know you are in for a treat when you pick him up and the teachers say, "You are going to die when you see your son." Apparently this was a midday wardrobe change while in the bathroom.

I'll share a few quotes from Luke today as well:

"Your butt looks big when you bend down, but it doesn't when you stand up. Look! (asks me to stand up straight now to emphasize point). It changed small!" (this last part said to the tune of, It's a Christmas miracle!)

"I  hope that no one ever kills us. I'm glad we have army guys to protect us from the bad army guys."

Good to see the Veterans Day convocation really hit home today at school.

And then there was one from Jack, as we ate dinner:

"MMM, this salmon is really good Mom!", he said enthusiastically. "Is this from dead fish?"
