Bibes



At most schools here in Portugal the kids are required to wear bibes, or what I would call a smock. Really it looks like a dress to me, and yes, the boys have to wear them too but the boy ones button up the side of the front. I don't know what age they stop wearing them. I think as they get older they have uniforms.

Anyways, Bria's and Tirza's came in last week, we are still waiting for Sahara's. The girls don't really like wearing them, but they will get used to it. I have started just taking Tirza's to school and letting them put it on her:) It is cute but I think I will vote for uniforms next year.

Oh my. I am glad to have warning. I will have to start preparing Ethan now. Maybe we will have to come up with our own special name for it. The girls look cute though.

OOOOhhhh...Yeah, Graham would have trouble with that, too. Maybe it could be a special jedi robe. Your girls do look SUPER cute in theirs. And you really won't have to worry about stains! Look at the bright side!!! Having fun with your list you sent. Wish I could come in November with Craig. Love you all!

I actually really like these - of course I also love little house on the prairie dresses and if I could get away with it, would probably dress the girls in them until they were at least 16. But since Ronnie is my fashion police that will never happen. Truthfully though, I would like the fact that I don't have to decide what everyone is wearing - it would seem to make life simpler for me. Tirza and Bria look adorable in them.
