We are planning on jeans/pants and short sleeve shirts with hoodies for morning and evenings. We live in AZ though. It was 82 last week. Anything below 75/80 is pants weather for us! Plus, I think in the winter, it swings more between high and low. I teach first grade and even on that 82 day, it was pretty cold at morning recess at 10:00! All my kids had their jackets. Well, by jackets I mean hoodies. When we went on the Alaska Disney Cruise I read up and everyone said "Don't buy anything special. Just use what you have for winter." I was like "You don't understand. My kids do not own a coat. They each have 2 hoodies." I found a couple used coats for the trip and that worked well!.
Anyway, if it happens to be really cold.... uh.... we will make do I guess. DH and I went a few years ago in early December and had to buy hats and gloves at the parks we were so cold. The weather is tricky in the winter I think. Like here, 90% of the days are pretty mild but then you will have a week or two of really cold weather mixed in. But, you never know when that will hit between Dec-March!
My daughter is in this really awesome phase where she only wants to wear dresses. It is annoying- she has all these adorable shirts and wants dresses all the time. My son wears whatever I set on his dresser for the day. She only had like 4-5 dresses and those were kind of pricey so I didn't want her wearing them to daycare. So, I went to Goodwill a few times and I have bought her like 4-5 dresses for $2.99 each. It is awesome. Now, I realized you have to be patient because they (at least here) group everything infant together- which is size newborn-3ish. But, I bring it home, wash it, and she is thrilled to have a "new" dress and I don't care if she gets paint all over it! You could do that for summer clothes if you have to. But, if you have some 18 month and some 24 month, I would think you could piece something together.
