Green Gingham Girls

My niece, Olivia, thinks that nearly everything she has comes from 'ra (me). And the truth is, she is the same size as Spenser so she never gets any hand-me-downs from us. With this in mind, and my love of matchiness, I decided that she and Spenser needed matching dresses. Matching green gingham dresses. And maybe matching bloomers in the near future...

The dresses are both size three (even though the one on the right looks shorter, it's just blowing in the breeze) and I think they are going to look adorable together. Since Spenser's chance of having a sister are zero to none, Olivia is probably the closest she's ever gonna get.

(Oh, Carter ended up running the mile yesterday and Taylor ran the 800 meter. It was a long but fun day. We spent six hours in the cold, very windy, damp weather. By 2:30 p.m., I was done. More so than Spenser and Sawyer. And my back is not good today from all that standing and unsupported sitting and carrying kids and bags. I start physical therapy on Wednesday. Thank goodness.)

Edited to add: The tags in the dresses are iron-on from here. (I think.)

Matchy matchy, my favourite. I think you should make one for yourself too :)

Your poor back, hope you feel better soon.

Adorable! I have twin 2 year olds and have to make two of everything. I just love the matching too. At least for now, while they are still small.

I hope you feel better soon!

Like the doublemint gum twins. So cute. Have a very wonderful Memorial Day weekend.

I was thinking of you and your Joe earlier. We just got back from our friend Joe's welcome home ceremony. He was deployed for a year - in Iraq for 9 months. I held back the tears until I was saying "thank you" to the freedom guard outside. Then they just came out. Such a fitting start to memorial day.

So thank your Joe, again, from me.
Sooo cute!! Is that a stamp with your "handmade by Lera" printed on it? Or a tag? If it's a stamp, cam you tell me where you ordered it and how it works (fabric ink I assume)?
