Trumpette Problem

Have you ever hear of Trumpette socks? I received my first set when Lou La was born. They are about the cutest things in all the land!

These Mary Janes were the first set I received!
They have a ballet slipper set, but these always looked a little like ballet slippers to me when they were on Lou's feet. Her cousin was born about the same time and had the same sock, but in pastels. Weezy looked like a little ballerina in them. She had the longest, skinniest legs I have ever seen on a baby! Lou on the other hand looked like the little girl in the ballet class that you knew wasn't going to grow up to be a ballerina! She had the shortest and roundest legs! Her baby rolls had rolls. And it was SO CUTE! They looked the same on Toots when she wore them too. They would have looked that way on The Boy too, but of course he was a boy. I love my little butterball babies!

On a side not, and totally not related to how cute they are or my dilema, I think they are magic. These puppies actually stay on their feet! I mean really. Of course they still have the habit of disappearing in the dryer, so they aren't COMPLETELY magic!

Back to my Trumpette dilemma! Before Toots was born they added a Disney collection. Hubby's aunt bought us this Minnie Mouse set:


LOVED THEM! They are too stinking cute. And if you know anything about me I am a S-U-C-K-E-R for anything Disney! Seriously. Anything. It is a sickness and I am pretty sure there are people out there that need a 12 step program as badly as I do, but I am sure that Disney is powerful enough to squash any attempts at creating one.

So, here is my dilemma. Look at what they have done to me:


Seven Dwarfs Socks!! And they are Argyle!! Seven stinking cute argyle socks with the names of each of the dwarfs embroidered on the side. And now I am contemplating having another baby JUST so I have an excuse to buy theses stinking socks!! I could just buy them as a gift. But that isn't the same. I need them! And I need a set of short chunky baby legs to put them on. That is a problem.

Ridiculous! I've been eyeing Trumpette's Johnnys from the second I found out I was having a boy, but am holding out for a smoking deal on Ebay. My time will come!

I have never seen these socks! How cute are they! My kids are all too big for those. What a shame! I'll have to remember them when my sister starts having babies. So on my fireplace, I just drew up what I wanted, and my husband got the wood and made it for me. We didn't use a kit, but that probably would have been a ton easier!

What cute socks!

Yes - that is a REALLY evil. Their socks are the best! When Linc & Ruby Jane were born my friend sent me the matching Trumepette sucks that looked like converse (because Ilove converse). They were adorable and I almost cried when they outgrew them. You know, I can't wait for my friend Michelle to have another little one because they also have some that look like cowboy boots and they are HILARIOUS! She would get a kick out of them. These socks are the best and I say...just go for it. Buy them and put them on the kiddos' baby dolls or something. Ha! Or the gift idea is always an option....you have to have them!

Love them! My baby had the Mary Janes in pastels and primaries and received public fanfare every time she wore them.
