raising young ladies

We took advantage of a day off to clean out the dresser drawers organize the girls' clothes. Some highlights:

Sophia: "face it, mom. We're not your little girls anymore. We've got our own style."

Sarah: "Hey Soph, remember What Not To Wear said that a bustline like this makes the rest of your body look better?!"

AGH....it's happening so fast!!

And "What Not to Wear"? Did they see me?

Is this from going to public school?
