Daddy's friend said he had some clothes his son had out grown. We said we'd take them off his hands as it was a size Oliver is growing into quite quickly. Little did we know just how many clothes we'd be blessed with. This was my living room at 9 am this morning.
By 10:30 am I had made my way through just over half of the pile. Lucius enjoyed climbing on some of the bags while I sorted it all out. I think I had the house back in order and a load in the washer by 11:20 ish. I'm not complaining- it was perfect timing as Oliver hit a growth spurt- we believe he's grown almost two inches since starting school.
I managed to find about three baskets full of clothes that will fit Oliver and/ or that he'll grow into. There's no way he would ever be able to wear all these clothes. So this afternoon we took what was left over to another friends house for her to look through. She took about a basket and a half of clothes- plus a couple pairs of snow pants. It hardly looks like we put a dent in the pile- I still have five boxes (one overly large one of just jeans) and three garbage bags full of clothes (boys sizes 5-7). If you know anyone else I can pass along a chance at a few hand-me-downs- please let me know.
