It’s hard to believe that it is October. Our days of warm, sunny weather are numbered
and will soon be replaced by the crisp, cool air of the fall. While autumn is one of my favorite times of
the year, I’ll be sad to say goodbye to summer.
There are so many reasons for this, but the one that I’ve been thinking
about recently are the kid’s clothes.
Don’t get me wrong. I love the
warm sweaters, comfy sweatshirts, cute little boots, and holiday ensembles that
the kids wear in the fall. What I don’t
enjoy is packing up the summer stuff. In
fact, I hate it. When the season change,
I put off sorting through the clothes for as long as a possibly can. Both kids still have clothes in their closets
that they wore last winter that won’t fit this year. I need to sort through them and pack them
away. But every time I start to do it, I
find a reason to put it off until later.
It is a tedious task. Also, packing
up their clothes is an emotional thing for me.
There are many that will roll their eyes and think I’m ridiculous and
they’re probably right. I just can’t
help it. Most likely, the clothes worn
this summer will be outgrown by next year and that thought makes me want to
cry. Evie’s favorite yellow sundress won’t
fit next summer and Mitch won’t be able to wear his “Awesome Lil’ Bro”
t-shirt. No doubt there will be other
cute outfits, but it’s still difficult to fathom just how quickly these kids
are growing up.
