Several weeks ago, I put out an email to all of you, my faithful readers mentioning that we'd soon have new kiddos coming and I needed some clothes + shoes. Well you responded! Below is a photo essay of the 5 hours of sorting that ensued with me and Nick, my mom, my two sisters, my brother-in-law, my nieces and my nephew.
This is what we started with-- a huge jumbled pile... half of it collected in Raleigh, half on the Outer Banks.
The whole family getting in on the action-- my sister Gretchen, Jon, Abbie, Katie, Denise...
Me, sorting all the BRAND NEW STUFF Becky sent from Old Navy.
My mom's dog, Chancy, got in on the fun... not really.
Melody helped too!
Nick got tired after a while.
Katie cracks up at some of the things that were donated.
We're getting closer.
Ahhh! Sorted by gender/size into bins...
And bags...
And this faithful lady, stuck around helping until the end.
Well, he was TECHNICALLY there too...
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! Our kids (and staff) will be VERY well dressed!
And as a side PSA-- do NOT buy Glad Forceflex bags. Out of the 15 or so of them we used tonight, about 13 of the handles broke. Huge disappointment considering I paid extra for the extra "force" we'd be exerting...
