The Jones Girls

The days are showing signs of summer coming.    Cold days are behind us now.    The sun is out and our weather is worthy of my girls swimming in their pool in the backyard.

With this in mind, it meant I had to do the dreaded task of reorganizing their clothes for the summer season.    I purchased a very nice used dresser from a friend of mine for Savannah’s room.    For the past few years, I was using the 3-drawer plastic drawer dressers for Savannah.  It was cheap and also I felt it was safer to use those in her room.

So I moved her 3 sets of plastic dressers out of her room and moved in her new dresser.  This meant I had to rearrange her whole room!!   What a task that was!!  It took me all day on Sunday to do it.

Then the past few days I have been going through the triplets winter clothes.  The clothes that were getting too small for them are going to a friend of mine who has triplets.  The clothes that are 2T/24 months are put away for the fall.  Maryssa can wear those.  Amanda and Miranda are beginning to wear 3T so they may not be able to wear them in the fall.  Time will tell….

I went through the size 3T clothes that were Savannah’s old clothes that I set aside for the triplets to wear.  It was so strange going through them.  I had just put these clothes away a year ago and I couldn’t believe I was going through them so soon for Miranda and Amanda to wear.   Most of the clothes were summer clothes – shorts, tank tops, t-shirts, etc.   I think there were only about 8 pairs of pants in the 3 gigantic bags that I went through.

I used one of Savannah’s larger 3 drawer plastic dressers and put the size 3T summer clothes and the 3T pants in that dresser.   The triplets are currently wearing 2T/24 months and if we run out of those clothes, we can break into the 3T stuff too.  

It was amazing to go down memory lane as I sorted through Savannah’s old 3T clothes.   As I fold each piece, it represented a memory.  

I also went through some of their special baby clothes that I want to keep for prosperity and for them to enjoy when they get older.   I have most of their outfits up to 12 months.    From 18 month to present, I am keeping all of their Holiday Christmas dresses, their Easter Spring dresses and their Halloween costumes.    I think it would be amazing to show them these clothes that I have put away for them for 18 years!!

I went through the shoes and sandals.   I ran across 4 pair of cute leather sandals that my brother, Ron, and I had gotten Savannah at Christmas time when we took Savannah to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  Those were wonderful memories. One of the sandals were Savannah’s favorite and they showed the worn sole.  The only one that can fit into those pair of sandals is Maryssa.  The larger sandals MIranda and Amanda can wear.  It will be so fun to see the girls wear those sandals this summer!!

It is so wonderful having 4 little girls!!    I am so happy that I spent time going through the clothes.   What a wonderful trip down memory lane it was!!
