I believe that this started on Saturday when the boys went to an "Army" birthday party. The invitation said to wear camo. In the entirety of their wardrobe they have just one piece of camo clothing each. Both boys have a pair of camo shorts. Between Saturday and yesterday (Tuesday), K must have developed a fondness for camo, and realized that it is really a staple of many local wardrobes.
We were at the Grange Co-op (local feed/agricultural supply store) yesterday afternoon and we happened to pass the clothing department (think Carharts and camo). K was impressed. Then, looking for trash bags K spotted the shoe section. There was an ample selection of camo work boots. To which K remarked, while searching around, "Oh, Mama, if I could find some kid size camo boots I could get all camoed out." This he meant and said nonchalantly, almost as if it had been the purpose of our visit to grow our camo wardrobe. And, this he said while wearing shorts with navy blue rain boots. So the comment and his already very Klamath Fallsish outfit made me laugh. And C, not at all sure what was so funny but not wanting to miss the joke joined in. K was embarrassed and mildly offended as he had not intended to be funny.
So, yes the boys were looking a little rough. We were going to the site for clean-up immediately following the Grange, so we had to wear "work" clothes. Before we left the house I had suggested to the boys that they wear regular shoes to the Grange and then put on their rain boots when we got to the site. They staunchly defended their outfit saying, "We see lot's of people wearing these around town." Tough to argue with that...
