Seems this thread is gonna be all about ripping Kate or Jon or defending Kate or Jon til the next new episode. Which won't be for a while... Reminds me of the chatter thread in BB.

My point was throwing away five outfits because one was ruined. Dressing them alike as babies and toddlers is fine. Dressing older kids alike for outings, church or television is fine. When they go to school, it isn't a good thing to dress them alike because the other kids (and teachers) will think of them as a unit and they should become individuals at that point.

Seamonkey, from watching "18 Kids & Counting," I've seen that the clothing varies widely. The Duggars have said more than once that they buy used clothing at thrift stores. I have noticed that they try to choose shirts that are the same color (like all varieties of blue striped shirts) for the boys when they have an outing or a TV appearance. They definitely do not try and dress all the children alike. The girls always wear dresses or skirts, and the girls' hair is long and fairly simple, minimal make-up for the older ones. I've never noticed jewelry. The only occasion when I saw the Duggars getting new clothing was when they had an appearance on a TV show and the network provided racks of clothes from which to choose: racks of clothes in all sizes, even for the parents. The Duggars really enjoyed getting brand-new clothes that day. We definitely hand down clothing in my family. My kids have worn their cousins', friends', niece's/nephew's baby clothes, toddler togs, kids' stuff, etc. I hand down my shirts and nightgowns to a cousin who, like me, is bigger than she wants to be. She has five kids and no money for clothes for herself. I often send my kids' outgrown clothes to her, too. Kate believes in recycling, donating to charity, and she sold things at a yard sale and donated the proceeds to pediatric cancer research, didn't she? She supports Ronald McDonald house, too, so she may donate her used clothing to them, too.

Hmmm... I guess since he was annoying you, it must have been a dill pickle, huh Serate? ::::ok so I couldn't resist:::: I kept wondering...dill or sweet, dill or sweet?? bwahahahahaha I think the twins were in different clothes on the crooked houses episode. I was thrilled when my girls had matching dresses a couple of times. At first they were just that far apart that they didn't carry matching things in both sizes. When the younger one got to the toddler sizes and my oldest was still in a 6 or 6x or whatever it was, I occasionally saw 2 of the same. My neighbor made them one set and they both had these pretty light blue dresses from a store. I also remember having a mother and daughter dress set when I was a kid. Accck! I watched the special again last night. I loved seeing them when they were little and when Jon & Kate were happy.

This is from www.popeater.com In Statement to Media, Jon & Kate Swear Off the Media As they sort out the busted-up pieces of their marriage, Jon and Kate Gosselin have decided to clam up and not speak to the media any more. In a statement to the media, the 'Jon & Kate Plus 8' superstars ask to be left alone in these times of trouble. "During this very difficult time we will be working to focus solely on the needs of our family. This includes no longer commenting publicly or reacting to media stories and speculation. Our goal is to do the very best for our children and that will be done as privately as possible. We appreciate the understanding, support and well wishes from so many. Thank you." Maybe this thread can slow down now, after all, Big Brother is about to start!!

http://www.tmz.com/2009/07/05/jon-and-kate-rekindle-the-spark/ I suppose they didn't go do their traditional parade and picnic thing. Is this the first holiday since the announcement? I think it's good both parents are by the children's side, at "the children's house".

There is 1 of the little tup girls in each of the pictures, and they're wearing different clothes. In the People pic, 2 boy tups are wearing different pants, and 1 has on a different shirt. I guess this clears up the issue of whether Kate allows her children to wear different clothes, huh? And in the People picture...Jon is barefooted. Omg, his feet must be filthy and disgusting like Kate's, right? People magazine picture:
TMZ picture:
ETA: It looks like the little girl in the bottom picture still has her ass burning from Kate beating on it (at least it's still smoking, so what else could I conclude?) lol.

To me, they look like they are having a great time.....(im barefoot right now too and loving it)....I think in time, they could grow to find love again... getting out of the limelight might just be what they need..

I read the People article at the library this afternoon, and Kate makes Jon sound like he has been done for a while now.

How sad that Kate hit her daughter so hard the child's ass caught fire. Or maybe she just had gas and...well, you know. I'm sorry, and I'm admittedly something of a sap, but these pics really make me want them to get back together.

It's a good sign that Kate's smiling at Jon in the top photo. Maybe the kids aren't dressed alike because they aren't filming the show--or Kate's been reading this thread and has decided that it's a bit A-R to have them totally matchy-matchy 100% of the time.

I admit I've been playing sick just so I could follow ALL the gossips. But I'm not going to locate all the silly ones and give you links. But TMZ seemed to not want to let J&K go just yet. A few days ago, while some posters complained about the wall-to-wall coverage of MJ, TMZ popped a vid with Jon looking for a mate on a Match dot com type if sites. Turned out it was a fake Jon. .... What was the point? Proof that they could talk about peeps other than MJ & co.? Then came a post with J&K as leading pics to talk about couples who are going to celebrate Independents Day "independently". .....

The only problem with the "smoking rear end" theory is that Hannah is in the photo above, not Leah. Hannah has the longest hair and roundest face. She's the middle girl and the calmest, too. I just love her and all the rest though I am way too old to handle 8. I did it in my 20s but that was a lifetime ago. It takes way too much organization and energy, both of which are in very short supply at my house now.

LOL, don't confuse things with facts, Tess! I've seen several photos now that show that Mady and Cara aren't dressing alike and even some tups..

I think the dress alike thing is now pretty much reserved for keeping track of them when they are away from home. Smart woman!
