Clothes, clothes and more clothes

This weekend I spent a majority of the time packing up the boys summer clothes and getting out their winter clothes. Poor Justin is going to be getting a lot of hand-me-downs!

I put away most of Nathan's summer clothes with the exception of a few nicer t-shirts. Mom also took Nathan shopping on Sunday to get him some new jeans since there wasn't enough time left this weekend to get it done. I had said last fall/spring that I am definitely going to get his jeans from Sears since they have the Kidvantage program and Nathan wears the knees out in all of his pants before he outgrows them. They also offer the same program on their shoes! Nathan is impossibly hard on his shoes (my Mom said that I was the same way) so it is worth it to spend a little more. I may end up bankrupting the Kidvantage program with three boys. Bruce was complaining about the bill after I paid Mom back, but I figured that four pair of jeans, three pairs of pajamas, a pack of socks and a pair of tennis shoes were well worth it.

Because Darren is so skinny, most of Nathan's 24 month/2T pants don't fit very well. I would rather not buy him new clothes if I can help it so I have to figure out a way to tighten the pants up. The length is perfect, and the shirts fit pretty decent, it is just the waist that doesn't fit correctly.

Since Justin is the third in line, we have a LOT of boys. Most of the boys clothes are 9-12 months, but there is a few 6-9 months in the lot. The 6-9 months is a smidgen to big and the 9-12 are even bigger, but I am not going to buy him a new wardrobe. Since he isn't mobile yet, I will just roll up the sleeves and hope for the best. There are so many winter clothes that I can be choosy about what clothes I hang in his closet.
