goin' down...

one more pound this week.  I'm 1 pound away from the lowest weight I was at the end of July... this is when it makes me mad that I put those extra 3 on!  Oh well, it could be a lot more!  Can't wait until Thursday to look for some Hawaii clothes.  My sisters, my mom & I are going on a little shopping excursion for my sister Kim's 37th birthday {which is on the 25th}.  I have a few summer clothes in the correct size that I bought towards the end of summer & a few others that I've picked up here & there, but still have a lot to get!  The biggest challenge, of course, is the swimwear.  I researched out the best suits for girls with upper body ampleness & ordered one that everyone had raved about on the websites, so hopefully that will end my bad swimsuit drama! {please, please, please!!!!!}  

Speaking of summer clothes, I was packing up last years or previous years summer stuff from the kids closets to send to the resale shop over the weekend.  Oh my... of course Lydia needs all new sizes {which I had started getting end of season last year}, but the boys, who I thought were in pretty good shape, will practically need all new shorts & several shirts.  I think Collin ended up with 1 pair of shorts in his size & Evan about 3.  Yikes, I better be checking out the ebay auctions... warm weather will be here before we know it... I hope!
