My Fall Fashion Preview

It's time to pull the fall and winter clothes down from the tubs in the attic. This is a perfect weekend for it because it rained all day yesterday and will continue through tomorrow.
It took me about 20 minutes to pull out Toby's summer clothes and fill one drawer with his winter clothes (most of which are too short)--that includes packing away the clothes we're hoping will fit him next spring.
Now when it comes to Norah it's a whole different adventure. She's got several bags of clothes that I'm going through to sort out what she can fit in for the winter, not to mention the adorable clothes she's only worn once that are now too summery or too tight (the 6-9 month size snuck up on me). I am so thankful that we haven't had to buy Norah any clothes due to the generosity of others, both in gifts and hand-me-downs. So I'm not complaining about it in the least. It's just funny to me how different this routine is now that there are girl clothes in the mix.
I always like bringing out the new season of clothes because it feels like I have gone shopping without actually having to set foot in a store. This season it's even more fun because last fall and winter I didn't fit into any of my regular clothes because I was pregnant. Hooray for "new" clothes!
