Einey, Meeney, Miney, Moe, Which Snowsuit has to go?

Before I forget, I posted today something on the 6th, and then another one for today for traveling man...

Most people who know anything about me know that I love to shop. My m-in-law recently asked if anyone else in my family liked to shop. To wit I replied that I was a one and only. Well, there is Aunt Lisa, but she's by marriage--and she could out shop me in a second. But I digress. Dennis considers it a major benefit of being married to me that I do just about all the shopping except gifts he buys me and grocery shopping (I don't pay enough attention to coupons and he considers it a challenge).

The other day, while g'ma and g'pa Wisconsin were here, I was shopping (okay, well I shopped every day they were here). I found a pair of bib overall snowpants at a consignment store. I then found myself at TJMaxx where I found a whole snowsuit--overalls and jacket, so I bought that too. It was a little large, but as I stood looking at the snowsuit, I grew concerned the snowpants I'd just bought at the consignment store wouldn't fit through the whole winter.

I got home and showed them both to Dennis. He voted for the snowsuit. I wondered what we'd do about Eddie's hands and feet in the snow, but figured we'd deal somehow. Then I went to Babies R Us (not planning to shop for snowsuits) and found exactly what I thought I had been looking for. An adorable all in one jumpsuit snowsuit. It came with mittens and little booties that were water proof/resistent. I even had them go to the back to get a size 12M for Eddie. It looked a little small, but I decided to go for it because the 18 month looked too big.

Now, with 3 snowsuits, I decide to ask the experts--g'ma and g'pa Wisc. And would you know g'ma Wisc. voted for the TJMaxx one, saying it was more versitile. I decided to try the jumpsuit on, just to see and it was too small! So, I guess it's going back.

The picture above is of Eddi'e new shoes. When I returned the snowpants to the consignment store, I decdied to bite the bullet and buy a pair of Robeez --which the store sells, along with several other items, brand new (I received store credit for the snowpants). Robeez (and Bobux shoes too) are a hip shoe for babies that is actually less expensive than most of the baby shoes out there. They have a million different designs--it's been difficult to chose. Eddie's obviously not walking yet, but they are so darn cute---and my excuse is that they will keep his feet warm. I'd been looking for a solid month. These have airplanes on them.
