When Tripp was a baby, we had a wonderful next door neighbor with two grandsons that were about 4-5 years older than Tripp. One day, her son-in-law came to our house with a huge garbage bag full of boy clothes. He said that it was mostly bigger stuff because they had already given away their baby clothes. I looked inside and saw the sizes and put the bag in storage as they were way too big for Tripp at the time. In fact, at the time, I couldn't fathom that he would EVER be big enough to wear them. Well, today, I stumbled upon the bag. And, lo and behold, Tripp IS big enough to wear them (sniff, sniff). The whole bag was 4t fall/winter clothes. I was SO excited when I started pulling out all of the clothes. Tripp has been in desperate need of some clothes, but clothing two children is expensive. I've been holding off hoping to somehow make it until Christmas. However, after today, he's in GREAT shape. There were 8 pairs of pants in the bag, 3 sweaters, about 10 button down shirts, and several long sleeved t-shirts. Thank heavens for the hand-me-downs we received 3 years ago!! I'm pretty proud of myself for keeping up with them for this long! :-)
