Checks

 

When I was a small child, my mom was sort of crazy about holidays.   Easter in particular brought out the fashionista in her.  Matching dresses for my sister and I, Easter bonnets, small purses, shined shoes, suitcoats and ties for my brothers, and of course she herself was always dressed to the nines.

Like mother, like daughter (except the me dressing to the nines part.)  I realized that this year when I couldn't stop myself from buying these Easter shirts for the boys.  I found the checked ties at Target a month ago (for a whopping dollar I might add!), and then found these checked shirts which I simply could not resist.  I loved looking at the boys all day long and each time I did, I got a tiny jolt of joy - the combinations of color made me so darn happy!   The boys like getting dressed up too and just go with the flow; ties stayed on all day.  I think I made my mom very proud.  Oh, the joy!
