Pastor Dave's Highlights

the boys just keep eating more and outgrowing clothes

I hear you on that. Same here with my boy. How old are your boys again? I think around 5 and 8, am I close?
We're lucky that we get some hand me down clothes from a friend but my boy quickly outgrows those too.

Prayers that all works out! The discount would have to be of help for the supplies you’d need for your rabbits, hens, and the bit of mowing/haying that you do!

 

[Pastor Dave]

Yah, you're right on with the ages. My youngest is getting as big as his brother(two different body builds) and not getting much hand-me-downs now. The neighbor boys here have been getting some nice, gently used clothes lately.

My boy is 8 as well(actually will be 8 in a few months).

What a bummer for your wallet that your youngest couldn't wear any of his brother's hand-me-downs.

 

[Hens and Roos]

hand me downs are great, clothes that my boys out grow are given to another family with younger boys!

They grow so fast! You buy a size larger because by the time you get home from shopping they are already in the next size.

When my kids were small they received clothes from older cousins & I passed theirs to the next younger ones. Then DH was from a family of 8 children, me an only. But, I also sewed a LOT for them, self & DH. Plus my mom & dad had only my two to buy for. Still....

Me -- I've stopped growing So I'm still wearing clothes from years ago. Go in trash when threadbare. Hope to start sewing more this winter. It's a nice talent and I usually enjoy it. Have tons of materials.

I love 2nd hand shops.

Same thing happened here! DD1 has always been a 5%/5% DD2 more like 60%/60%. Didn't take long before they were wearing the same size once DD2 got to 3 or 4.

Me -- I've stopped growing So I'm still wearing clothes from years ago.

Me too. I'm still wearing some T shirts I got 30 years ago.

hope things workout for the pt job. if you think those boys eat a lot now just wait until they are teenagers. eating machines and will eat you out of house and home.

Make sure they have girlfriends they want to visit, especially around meal times!

That is so true!!! My son had some jeans that he didn't wear at all this summer, they fit just fine in June. But when we went to try some on end of August, the jeans didn't fit anymore.

Me -- I've stopped growing

I stopped growing height wise, just wish I can stop growing weight wise

Make sure they have girlfriends they want to visit, especially around meal times!

If he's unlucky, then his boys' girlfriends will want to visit, especially during meal times!
