Fall…Time for new clothes

I cannot believe that summer is almost over and we are quickly heading into Fall! I was going through the boys’ things and tried on a few pair of their jeans size 18-24 months and although they fit fine everywhere they looked like capris on them. So off I went to the malls the past weekend. I typically only buy Gap jeans for the boys and they were having a nice sale (buy one get one 50%). I have always liked their jeans and they hold up to wear and tear and usually are pretty soft unlike other jeans that feel like they have been drowned in a bottle of starch! When, I shop I look at tags and find out what the stuff is made of to allow for shrinkage. I love Old Navy jeans too but everything there tends to run on the small side. The boys are only in 2T-3T shirts and at Old Navy I have to buy in the 4T range, and go up a size in jeans too. I wonder why that is since they are a division of Gap. I love Gymboree for some things but they seem to be a little spendy to me.

So, the boys are set with 2 pairs of jeans for each, the obligatory pair of overalls (great for outdoor play) and a few pairs of sweats. I hope no one has a growth spurt or I will be back at the Mall…not a totally bad thing. Secretly, I love to shop for them and hate shopping for myself!
