Carhartt Boys

The boys have been bugging Dan for some Carhartt overalls for a LONG time now. We kept hoping we'd find them for a better price somewhere, without much luck. I just haven't been able to justify the cost of the overalls over having SEVERAL regular pairs of pants for the same price. LOL In speaking to a girlfriend the other day, she mentioned that her boys each have a pair of Carhartt pants, which are their "outside" pants. The pants stay in the garage and the boys change into them anytime they want to head outside to get into the dirt, and then they take them back off again before coming back inside. The boys get as filthy as they want and she doesn't have to worry about how much muddy laundry she's stuck doing (my boys can dirty up several pairs of pants in a given day). GENIUS!! Then she washes them at the end of the week. Since they're "outdoor" pants, it doesn't matter how ground in the dirt is... And since they're Carhartts, they LAST. The wheels started turning in my head, and when I spotted Carhartt overalls at Fred Meyer today, I grabbed each boy a pair. Even better? They were on sale for 20% off!!! We also got some barn boots because the Target rubber boots just don't last (they always crack!!). The boys are totally set to get down and dirty, and I had the most relaxing time EVER watching them outside digging in the dirt, wiping blackberry juiced fingers on their pants, etc.


Are these handsome little guys poster boys for Carhartt, or what?!? *grin*
