1/6 of the Easter duds are done!

I am not exactly sure why Easter duds are important to me.   I am a UU pagan for goodness sake.  Easter in the terms embraced by my Christian friends is not a touchstone of my belief system.  But for some reason, that has absolutely no basis in logic, I love getting the kids spiffed up for Easter. Luckily 3 of the 4 love spiffing up.  Rob had actually come to me just after Yule and told me he had no suit.  He had a blazer for a number of years but had outgrown it.  Because he was in a big growth spurt I went with dress pants, nice sweater and shirt or vest and shirt for a couple of years while he got a chunk of that growing done.  I so didn't want to buy a suit and have it be knickers inside of 2 months and for a while he had that crazy pace of growing going on. 

But it seems to have moderated, now that he is taller than Kirsty he is taking a breather!  So his was the first clothing ordered for Easter.  I got the promised suit and he chose black stripes. He is all about black clothing, we are on the cusp of that lovely time when teens think black is well--all there is.  Chet got stuck there for something like 6 years. I hope Rob's time there is shorter!  LOL  He did agree to the pastel shirt and tie though when I reminded him we were not going to a funeral.  ROFL 

KC also has a black suit--his was given to me by a friend whose son outgrew it.  I am looking for a shirt of a similar hue. Chet is going with a mauve toned shirt and black pants.  No tie as he always looks and acts like you are strangling him (and that is with a clip on tie!!!) so in the interest of not alarming the entire congregation and having people heimlich him unnecessarily, we are skipping the tie.  Lissa will have a dress that has pink on it.  Most of hte other things are ordered but just are not in yet.  I am all about order on line!

He's lookin sharp!

We're lucky if we can get our 14 yo DS to change ANY clothes regularly, let alone dress up. *sigh* Not that he has any dress clothes though.
