buying the kids clothes

I remember when my kids were little and they would wear whatever I bought for them.  There was no complaints about color or style.  I think I have good taste and I buy high-end quality clothes that will last more than one season and one kid (my cousin who has two little boys is the beneficiary of these clothes) unless of course if they are stained. 

Well -- it is time for new winter gear (end of season sales and all).  Normally I would pick something really warm (temp rating -5 or less at the low end) and in the appropriate favorite color of my kids.  P likes blues, D likes reds, and Miss C is a girly girl so definitely Pinks.  After my Christmas clothes gifts there were a few complaints about this and that.  So I decided why not give them a 'say' in the matter since they are the wearer of these clothes and I would not like it if someone picked everything I wore.

So I asked them to help and all I get is well I don't know, not sure about the color or style, why isn't that in PINK!.... don't they know end of season sales clothes go quickly and what you like today may not be there tomorrow or even later today.

EDIT:  winter coats bought!  P picked Black;  D pick green & black; C picked Fuschia  ;)  Happy Mom that this is done.
