brrr... it's getting colder

I knew it was coming, but somehow with the warmer days lately I guess I just put it out of my mind, but this morning it was COLD & tonight is supposed to be below freezing.  I had the kids try on their winter coats about a month ago, thinking I'd keep an eye out for a good deal... Collin had outgrown his, luckily Evan had a nice Columbia hand me down from Collin to wear this year & Lydia had basically outgrown hers too, so 2 winter coats to buy.  I've been searching the resale shops, but nothing good has been found, then today's cold sent me on an ebay search, but again, not quite what I was looking for in terms of price & selection.  A friend had said something recently about Overstock.com, so I thought I'd check it out.  Can I just say I literally spent 15 minutes there & came out with 2 coats... $65 bucks + free shipping.  Here's what I chose:  

for Collin this plaid coat in the walnut... I think he'll really like it, he's in to plaid & it looks like it's got a little orange in it {his fave color}

& this for Miss Lydia... yes in the pink.  I had it up on the screen & she immediately said "I want that one... in the pink, not the purple!".  What can I say, the girl knows what she likes... seriously pink, polka dots, what else does a girl need?  

now I feel sorta bad for mister Evan, who's stuck with the hand me down... I think I'll have to find him some really cool hat & gloves to make up for it :)  I am the youngest of 4 girls, so I know lots about hand me downs :)
