9 bins and counting

I spent over 4 hours today sorting through 4 and a half years of kids clothes. I was by myself, because Bryan took the kids to visit his parents. Which was a good thing. I first tried to do this with the children at home on Monday. I was about 3/4 finished when Megan started "helping" by combining the piles and dumping out bags.

At this point, I have 9 bins of clothes, two leaf bags to donate, and a laundry basket that I still have to deal with. But I need a break.

Going through the clothes was more emotional than I expected. Megan hasn't been a baby for a long time, but looking at the little dresses it all comes back. Even Riley's clothes had a pull. He has alway been so big, that I forget that he was tiny.

I think, in the end, I kept more than I should have. I may have to go through again and weed out more.
