It is just exciting to see how well this family can actually "clean up". We live in an area that is very casual and no one really ever wears dress up clothes. LisaMarie has her selection of dresses and for the boys it is all about jeans and maybe a polo type shirt for when they are really looking "sharp". Considering all that we have to deal with, Merrill and I find this way of life so much easier than if we really had to dress up. Now, that being said, we were invited to the Governor's Mansion for a "dress up" more formal affair. WOW, did we ever have a lot of shopping to do. True to Simon fashion, we hit every thrift store between here and Reno and let the children run wild in what they chose to wear. The end results were nothing short of fun and I think everyone was looking rather sharp for the big night. Here are just a few of the many pictures taken last night.
Merrill and I thought we would teach our children about the world, instead we are teaching the world about our children.
