Another Outerwear Question-Snow Pants

[twins r fun]

I've found winter jackets for my twins and now I want to get snow pants. I live in MD-some years we get no snow, some years we get a moderate amount. I don't want to pay too much since in reality they will only be worn a handful of times. If possible I'd like to buy them at a store with a descent return policy in case there's no chance to wear them this year. Here's the real problem-one of my twins is pretty small and wears 9 month pants. I think they make snowpants in 12 months, but have never seen 9 months. I really want pants as opposed to a snowsuit since we've already got coats. Any ideas where I can find 9 month and 12 month snow pants relatively inexpensively? Just thought of one more thing, I guess I'll need some little waterproof boots too. Where's a good place for these?

Thanks,
Nicole

Hi Nicole. You may want to try the Lands End (landsend.lcom) website. They have an "overstocks" section where you can often get great winter outwear for a reduced price. Last time I checked, I saw some big overall/snowpants. I don't think they have the 9 month size, but I know they have 12's. Lands End sells reasonably-priced snowboots. We got a fantastic deal on some Ecco gortex books at Nordstrom's: $29.99. I think Ecco was offering Nordstroms some kind of a special deal.

Oops, gotta run. My little guy needs me.
