Grace is getting a cold and wanted to go outside so I cautioned her that she better put warm clothes on so she doesn’t get pneumonia.
She just came downstairs with tights, socks, long underwear, pants, a dress, a shirt, a long flannel nightgown, and a coat on. In that order!
***********************************
EDIT:
My dear, loving, loyal. fun, happy, SPOILED, xanga readers:
After receiving an email from my brother, and reading and laughing over all of your comments asking “where is the picture”, I paid Grace a dollar and she put everything back on (except the shoes, but you get the idea) so I could take a couple photos of her anti-pneumonia outfit. I am afraid, however, that what you were imagining was much funnier that the real deal—you be the judge—
Colleen was afraid that Grace simply exchanged the danger of coming down with pneumonia for the danger of over-heating. Well, she did end up taking off the coat and the nightgown. . . . . when I told her to put her coat back on for the pictures she said, “Oh, I left that outside. It’s hanging in a pine tree.” (insert her giggles here).
Thanks for having fun and laughing along w/me today. . .
Hugs–

That should do the job!
Hysterical! At least she listened to you! LOL Did you get a picture of that? Too funny!
LOL that is so funny! π
Oh my ~ the nightgown on top ~ hilarious!
Too funny!
WHAT? No pictures? I am sure she was quite toasty.
wow. i’ll have to remember that!
TOO funny
She’s a clever one! π
Where’s the picture?! You’re the Queen of the Camera and there’s no photo? π That would be something to see!
Where there is a will…there usually is a way. This child knew what she wanted. Cute.
Hilarious! Yes, I want to see a photo, too. I hope she doesn’t get pneumonia after all that effort. π
I think she might run the risk of being over heated…you can’t say that she didn’t listen to you. I’m surprised she could even move in all those layers.
So maybe I’m spoiled… but where is the picture. That would be one of your best
We are all looking for that picture. Thanks for the giggle…nice and warm too cute.
I say, “Bring on that cold weather!”
There she is all bundled up with no shoes on! LOL! You are right…. we are spoiled. Thank you for that.
I love the smile. It speaks more than Hemingway ever did!! It reminds me of something my comedic, sarcastic, overly literal thirteen year old boy would do.
Thank you.
I love silliness!!!
Love the laughter on those pictures. The nightgown is the best.
Great photos…I must say the combination of the outfit with only socks is rather humorous. My kids leave their clothing outside as well. Or in the car… I just brought in 3 coats today that were left in the car last week.
I guess it pays to read blogs late in the day, sometimes! I’m just now getting on here and loved the story, as well as your pics! Since I HAD pneumonia, you certainly were right about her NOT wanting to catch it!
Now THAT is style. I can hear the giggling.
Hilarious! Insert MY giggles! Thank you for sharing! I had an outburst of a laugh and Jeremy asked from the other room “What?”. Love, Lish
I love your family!
Silly girl…. very fashionable too
such a sweet silly girl! those pictures are so great…blackmail when she is 23 perhaps? lol
Ha ha – love it!!!
LOL~ oh for the joy of Grace!
Love the edit!! π
Thank you! The real thing was funnier. I’m glad I could help make Grace a dollar richer!
TOO funny! it definitly made me giggle
i had double pneumonia for almost three months last year… it was NOT fun at all! this winter i’ll be sure to wear the outfit so it doensn’t happen again
Quite a fashion statement! π
How priceless! If I dressed that way, my kids would put me away…..LOL
she’s adorable! and actually.. the outfit is not bad at all. she could probably walk down your local mall and people wouldn’t even look twice – well, maybe twice. but not 3 times!!he- he.
How cute.!
Kids are so great.
Patty
I’m not sure I’d even be able to get my coat on over all those clothes!! Cute post — I can almost hear her giggle!
That is adorable! I think I dressed that way regularly when I was a kid, I was just weird like that I guess. Sweet smiles and lots of fun.
Absolutely priceless! What a sensible little girls you have! She’s absolutely precious! I happen to love the outfit!!!
Hilarious…both that she wore all that, but also that you paid her a dollar to put it all back on!!!!
Too funny!!
she does look warm!!! sweet girl………
I think she might be setting a new trend:)
