Dear Jack and Tucker;
Mommy is very sorry for almost always dressing the two of you in MATCHING outfits until you were about 5 and 3. That was when you asked mommy to ‘stop making you look like twins who were 2 years apart’. Mommy is also sorry she also was always dressed in a coordinating outfit to your ensembles as well. Mommy is sorry she made the three of us look like a Sears clothing advertisement every time we left the house. Mommy is also sorry she fained surprise when other people would say ‘Oh my look how all of you match!’, when Mommy would reply “Oh gosh we do? How funny! It is a total accident’. Yes, Mommy is very sorry. But on the upside- we have lots of cute pictures of the three of us where we all look very well color coordinated. So that is good right? And as for Daddy…well, I TRIED to get him to match us. But he refused to play along. Guess he was on to my insanity early. So mommy is sorry. Please forgive.
Love,
Mommy
(don’t think for one minute the matching bib was an accident either. I am so ashamed. It is an illness.)
Visit We are THAT family for much more fun photos and stories like these!

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! LOVE.
oh noooo! But they do look cute though :-)
That’s funny. When we have out family phots taken we always have a colour theme. Once it was red, once it was orange and once it was yelloe just to name a few.
I do this to. Not just for family pictures, since my husband refuses to get them.
I like stuff that matches.
I must be sick too because I do the same thing. Maybe we should start a 12-Step program.
I’m sorry but it’s our RIGHT as mothers to dress them alike for as long as we possibly can. When I found out my second baby was another girl I could not WAIT to buy everything in doubles…..hey, we earned it!
Too funny! My wife is still trying and get me to match. ugh.
HA HA! I was just doing good to get clean clothes on them – I had 3 kiddos under 3 years old, so it was busy. we have tried to coordinate for pictures sometimes, and that’s kinda cute. I love this post. It made me laugh!
I love that you apologized for this. LOVE it!!! I must also confess, however, that I’ve already purchased matching outfits for our daughter the Tongginator and her MythicalSisterInChina. We don’t even know the ages our children will be for our next adoption. I am hanging my head in shame as I type this.
Love the letter, hysterical. Nothing wrong with no clashing…but matchy-matchy, well, you may need help (LOL)
There are support groups, ya know? I’m president of Matcher’s Anonymous. You are welcome, here!
I still do it. One day, I’ll have to apologize, I’m sure.
I have a friend who does this everytime they go to church! She doesn’t “mean” to do it either. :)
I’m gonna start calling you The Little Match Girl.
You can call me Queen of the Plaids-and-Florals Family.
Hi Marcy,
I know it’s out of topic but thanks for commenting on our website.
I really wanted to let you know that we (Canadians) know you (Americans) are not all like those in the video we posted (http://www.barchezmo.com/les-redneck-naiment-pas-barack-hussein-obama)… these kind of people exist in every country! But I sincerly hope you guys will vote for Obama! ;) Best luck from Montreal! Keep on the good work with your website.
what a hoot!
Even the couch and the background matches! Oh, YOU! Always with the perfection.
OH. MY. Poor babies. But what an adorable picture. My boys had flourescent snow jackets in the early 90′s. What was THAT about? And my husband won’t even wear a black shirt if I’m wearing a black shirt.
Oh Marcy,
Is there a twelve-step program for this affliction? If so, please pass it on to the rest of us.
