SILLY HAT DAY

One of the great joys of parenthood is being able to dress your kids up in whatever silly clothes you can find. It will be about two years or so before they develop any real sense of taste, and even then they're pretty open to manipulation. And right now, you can do anything you want. Check out these MC Hammer pants we put on Will.Nate is so excited about them that he's willing to help Will start break dancing.But hats are where you can really make your mark. Our good friends Pat and Rebecca gave us some good cold weather hats. With temperatures hitting unseasonable low levels, we can break these out.Oh yeah, that's some style. We were so excited about the hats, we wheeled the kids around the neighborhood to show them off. Will seemed pretty happy about it. But Nate, well...Back inside, Nate and Will settle back into their favorite chair and dream of the day when we dress them up in leather cowboy hats and skirts like Martin Gore of Depeche Mode circa 1985.Not yet, but that time will come.
