Wardrobe replacement

Ever since Jaxen was born we've attended these massive kids clothing resale weekends. They typically have them 2 times a year, fall and spring. Therefore you purchase enough items at the fall sale to last all winter and then in the spring sale you purchase summer clothes. When he was younger it was easier to find cute clothes still in great shape since they don't wear them as long and aren't as rough on their clothes. Now that my big man is in 3T the clothes are more worn and its harder to find "good" ones.
Yesterday we went to one of these sales and thankfully it was a huge success! We limited ourselves to getting items he needed! Not just bc something was cute! For instance we narrowed down our items to 10 long sleeve shirts, 6 church shirts, 2 zip up hoodies, etc. We still spent more then we came with but were so happy it was a success! We found him some Buzz Lightyear light up shoes for $4 and some cowboy boots for $5!
Last night after we cut the tags off and cleaned the shoes and threw the clothes in the wash machine I looked at Brandon and said, "when he's a freshman or sophomore and we have to spend $300 for back to school clothes to only get him 3 jeans, 6 shirts, and 2 pairs of shoes not counting the football gear, baseball cleats, and everything else in between we will be missing these days of dropping$120 twice a year for his wardrobe!"
It's so hard for me to clean out his closet twice a year with things that are too small to wear! I don't like packing away my favorites! Makes this momma sad!!
