It’s that time of year when growth demands change. The boys were tasked with taking every coat and sweatshirt off of the entryway hooks and sorting them into piles of keep or not keep. I fold their clothes and don’t know whose underwear belongs to who anymore or whose shirts are what person’s. I definitely wasn’t going to be able to figure out the coats and the abundance of hooded items. Several bags were packed up.

So Dad, the boys, and I headed into town to find again the needed items. Elianna met us there. We looked around in Goodwill and it isn’t the same. There was not a rack of used coats to be found. I did find one thinner sweatshirt in the Christmas clothing section. It was colored a faded soft red with the word LOVE across the chest. The O was a Christmas tree. Next we drove to Sierra where two of the boys found cozy and quality winter coats. There are the coats for going out and then the coats for snow playing.

After that we went to Walmart. Target would’ve been nicer and not so hard on the nerves, but the priority in this case was saving money. Another coat was found along with two pairs of dress pants. Believe it or not everyone needed dress pants again. Dad reminded them why they are needed, because it’s good to look nice sometimes. We bought whipped cream and hot chocolate mix to bring home and enjoy the evening.
