It was pretty chilly this morning when we left for our tour of the ice cream shop at the mall. (Yep, that’s a benefit of being in the MOMS club – ice cream right after breakfast!) Thankfully, Carrie’s new bunting arrived just a couple of days ago. It’s a Land’s End fleece bunting, and although it was a PITA getting her in and out of it (well, mostly in) wherever we went, it definitely kept her toasty. I’m hoping it will get easier with practice. I’m also hoping that her fall coat will be enough for above-freezing sorts of days, especially those with lots of errands! I think I’ll use my coat choice as a basis for hers: if I can wear my light corduroy jacket and not be freezing, her fall coat will be fine; if I need my quilted down parka, she needs her bunting.
I have to say, I’m pretty impressed with how quickly I got my LE order: I placed it Saturday night and it was in my hands after lunch on Wednesday. (Good timing, too – when the UPS truck pulled up, I opened the door to swirls of snowflakes!)
