It’s that time of year.  You go down to your basement (and look under your beds), and start digging.  Then you head to your kids rooms and the piles ensue.  Your partner/child/friend comes into your house, and breaks your concentration.  The look on their face says it all – what the heck is all of this stuff?!?!?!?!

It’s time for out with the old, in with the new, and a major inventory on all of the stuff you Totally DO NOT have for fall.

It’s a good thing Half-Pint is around the corner!  I don’t know about you, but I almost headed to a store this week in panic and bought things at – gasp – full price!  After my momentary panic, I pulled out Half-Pint’s cheat sheets and started making a long list of what to look for next week.  I even made my kid stand on a piece of paper and traced his feet so I can confidently by him shoes and boots (which I think are always sized strange).

Top of my list?  Snow pants and jeans.  And some good gifts to squirrel away for Christmas.  Oh, and a Wolverine Costume.

What are you looking for?
