Summer to winter coats. Is this a thing?
So now I'll tell you how to dress your kids.
It's been a weird weather year, right? It has hit 80 degrees F here in New Jersey the month. In case you forgot, its OCTOBER.
The boys have hit a growth spurt, and even K's hand-me-downs aren't really fitting A; seasonally, their growth is not lining up. Since we go from melting to freezing in the span of a day, I'm predicting a warmer winter. I'll buy you a Dogfish Head Sea Quench Ale if I'm wrong.
We finally succumbed to the dark side, aka Amazon Prime, so now I try to purchase everything through Prime. For several reasons, but mostly because we are too busy to go shopping when we need to. And I'm a lazy ma, not going to lie. The stores we prefer are a good 30 minutes away, and during the week I don't really have time or the energy to load all 3 up and spend 3 hours trying to find a coat. Weekends are even crazier, especially if I'm going it alone.
After combing through Amazon, I've settled on the Columbia Big Boys' Powder Lite Puffer Jacket for the boys and the London Fog Little Girls' Puffer Jacket for the precious angel. According to the reviews, I'm confident this will keep them warm from the quick trip to the car, into school, the store, The Children's Academy of Annoyance Arts, yet lightweight enough to wear in more typical fall weather (if we even have a full fall). If they need something warmer, we still have their one-piece snowsuits the grandparents bought for them a couple years ago. Highly recommend these as well - as your kids grow, you can let out extra fabric in the arms and legs. Only complaint I've had is a broken zipper, but pliers fix everything.
Just purchased today, so I'll update when we get them in.
