Matching Outfits

Even though Chloe and Sophie may not always show how much they love each other, we know they do. It's not a secret; it just doesn't reveal itself all that often so it's easy to forget. One way we know is that Chloe likes to dress them alike. Isn't that affectionate? Definite love there. One morning she went and picked out their clothes and laid them out on the floor. I liked the extra care she took to also pick out matching ponytail holders, and then wrote notes on them to specify (one braid Sophie/Chloe) so I knew how to do their hair -- matching. I should have taken a photograph of it, but I shot the wrong one (or should I say Chloe mixed the notes up) -- but if you look closely on Sophie's shirt there's also a dime. Chloe was trying to bribe her to wear the outfit she had picked out for her! I don't think Sophie needed the dime, because she loves her sister too and would have done it for free. The only problem with this whole plan (this particular morning) was that Sophie was sick and I had to take her to the doctor that morning. She didn't get dressed in her special outfit until afterwards, and then right after school Chloe was playing outside and got really messy so she came in and changed her clothes. I never had a chance to photograph them together in their matching outfits, but I know this won't be the last opportunity. They like to do it every now and then.
