I have 6 kids ranging in age from 25 down to 11. Imagine if you will, the number of gloves and mittens we’ve gone through over the years.
The number of gloves and mittens used and lost just boggles my mind. They aren’t cheap, either!
It finally snowed here last week for the first time this winter. My poor kids had to play outside in mismatched gloves. I felt sorry enough for them, that we bought new ones. lol We tried to buy them at a store in town. Well,you know how that goes. Try to buy the clothing item you need in season and the stores just laugh at you. Who buys gloves in January? Isn’t everyone buying bathing suits?!
So I resorted to shopping online. I found some gloves on clearance at a big box store online (not the one that starts with a W, but the one that starts with a K). The boys gloves I bought were only 3 dollars and change each, and they are a name brand, too.
Now here’s the brilliant part! For my 4 kids, I bought 8 pairs, in 2 different sizes of the same design!
All the gloves can go in one basket and they can just grab two out. Lose a glove? Well, there are more just like it!
So, what do you think my chances are of having any of these gloves still here next winter?!
