Baby Gap

What is it about the Baby Gap that makes me tear up, talk EXTREMELY high pitched and want kids immediately? I was shopping for a baby shower and saw this:




Leopard print cardigans and dresses! Seriously??? I had a chili bowl hair cut/ mullet and a red velvet outfit for special occasions!!! Everything in there was ridiculously cute! not to mention a baby shirt (the size of one of my socks) was the same price as the big gap shirt next door!






They even have shoe covers so you are in full costume.

I am going to Curtis and Gayle's for dinner and will scan some old pics of us at Halloween to compare to how unfair it is. Where is the creativity!!!

OK here ya go...

I would now like to talk about Halloween when I was a child... We had the plastic aprons and a mask as our costume or we wore a dance recital outfit and called it a night. Have no fear children of 2007, Baby Gap is here to save you from that!!!





This is the 1983 Cookie Monster.









This is the recycled dance recital costume to angel and princess and a nice mustached Curtis...










this scared Jared... the Pittsburg 1987 clowns...if you look closely there is nice make up detail (thank you Gayle) the red dots on Maddie's face are hearts :)

and in 1989, the Gypsy (in a gymnastic leotard and blue tulle, the elf in a school play costume and the police man in all black. the neighbors were farmers...

I am cracking up laughing at these pictures of ya'll in the halloween costumes! So funny! I love seeing pictures of "the young Maddie"! Please dig up more! I may have to do the same!

Your costumes are amazing. I will definately have to dig through the stacks of photos at Mom's house to find our cardboard M&M costume pictures. Let me tell you it is a WT classic.
How's it going with your "friend" at school?

Those pictures are awesome. I never had a choice in my costumes because I was the youngest, I always had to be Alyssa's accessory. Like she was Strawberry Shortcake and I was Lemon Meringue. Who wants to be her?

Carley needs Aunt Maddie to buy her some cute Baby Gap outfits!
