ocelotI wish I could have both the kids gone for a while so I could clean without Leif undoing everything as I go and Astrid fussing at me.
I'm getting out Astrid's 6-9 month clothing today, partly because it seems that overnight all her pants became capri/shorts length, and partly because there's cool weather stuff she's never going to wear if we don't get on it.
It's a little sad, because her 3-6 month clothing was, on the whole, much nicer than her 6-9 month stuff.
I should really probably not use some of the nicer cool weather stuff and sell it somehow - she has one outfit, new with tags from The Children's Place. Makes me feel like I'm cheating Beeb by not having her wear it, but I doubt she'll wear more than a few times. I wish I liked the local kid's consignment store better, but I don't get the impression she offers fair prices, and I'm not particularly comfortable with the causes the store supports. Craigslist, maybe? I'll have to see what I have.
Speaking of consigning, they're probably taking warm weather stuff at R&R now, so I should probably do that one of these days soon. Assuming I don't take stuff to the previously mentioned clothing swap first, but there's transportation issues there (any of you planning on going?).

I have 4-5 brand new w/tags outfits that would fit Basil now, or v. soon, but I am trying to go w/o them because we have enough for just now, just about, and I know he'll grow out of the brand new stuff so soon it's not worth it - but similarly, it's silly because I have no real means to make much money off them because our local consignment store is miserable - they don't just offer super low prices then sell everything at a too high price, but they are just plain mean during the transaction when you bring them stuff - they denigrate you and your clothes/baby things, just to devalue them in your eyes to increase their own profit margin - even though this is a lady from our church who owns the place!
