Boys goes 6, 6x, 7, 8, 10, just like girls. I just bought Casper 12 slim jeans, which are still too big in the waist, but she needs the length. She is the queen of high waters, just like I was. Sigh. (She doesn't care - yet.)
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
In the last few months Emmett's morphed so that his pants are longer than his waist size. He's gotten so much leaner than he ever was before as he got into shape, that his 32W x 34L jeans are sagging off his ass. He really needs 30W X 34L right now.
And I think he's heading into another growth spurt because (a) his acne is acting up; (2) he's teenboy stinky; and (3) he's eating ALL THE FOOD.
Things I fed Emmett between 8:30 and Noon today: three scrambled eggs and two pieces of buttered toast; thick slice of cherry chocolate bread with butter; hot chocolate with a dollop of ice cream in it; a large smoothie; a quesadilla. Then he got himself a strawberry milkshake when we went out.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I figured Casper must be in 12s by now since Franny is in 10s. Crazy. And yeah, skinny kids seems happy to wear high waters. I think they are happy that the waist finally fits.

Be careful, David. Pretty soon, Emmett isn't going to fit in your apartment any more.

Trust my rage
Ellie totally skipped size 6/6X. I suppose she went through it over the summer but she's now a 7 whose pants always have to be checked to make sure they don't fall off.
I will happily reimburse anyone who wants to do a TJs run for me!

Send me a list, Stephanie! More motivation to get to the store would be good for me.

He already doesn't! He sprawls on the couch and takes up the entire living room. In a household of four he manages to take up well more than half the living space. Even with his own room.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
ita, can you try a lucky store?
I will have to, because I think it will take subject matter expertise to find the proper current equivalent for what we bought before. I mean, I have worked out what the style title was (Easy Rider something), but I can't work out which of the three current Easy Rider options it's closest to. Or if this Sofia with the intriguing higher back rise development.
Oh, the possibilities that await me.
I missed the mark on spicing these muffins, but the texture was really successful. Good discussion.
Now, what is dinner?

Now, what is dinner?
I went to the grocery store and bought stuff to make cassoulet, but now I'm too lazy because I made & drank a Pisco sour. So I think it's going to be a mushroom quesadilla. And then maybe Ken Burns' new documentary.
