I went to JoAnn's yesterday, trying to contain myself (did fairly well too... bought what I went for ~~~ this time), and ended up buying a pattern for skirts for the girls and a slacks and shirt pattern for our son.
We've decided to send them to a Christian school (after homeschooling for 2 years), and they will need "professional dress" as it states in the handbook.
I am going back to school myself in March and cannot think of any way possible to effectively teach the children while trying to learn things myself! LOL!
So... off I go to the sewing room to get busy today!
Oh... I guess I had better clarify.... Miss Amelia, the "I'm15goingon30" teenager (who, by the way is turning 16 today) had a decent "grown-up" conversation with her Dad and I, and has agreed to wear skirts or dresses at least 3 days a week, and we consented to allow slacks (of a decent sort) the other 2 days.
So, I guess compromise has reared its head once again in the world of raising teens. Guess that's what it's all about though, huh?
