Labor Day Sales

This is No Spend Month,

But I woke up that vacation Monday

With the thought that we are out of town soon,

And I’m not sure the boys have clothes that fit.

Starting with Jadon, we looked at all clothes,

And passed down those that he had outgrown.

Isaiah is shorter, but stockier, 

And Jadon’s clothes didn’t fit him.

So we ordered him almost an entirely new wardrobe,

As a pair of ill-fitting, stained shorts,

Three ugly, holy t-shirts,

And two pairs of holey jeans hardly clothe a person.

Abraham, now with hand-me-downs from Jadon and Isaiah,

For now, is fine.

Joe had three pairs of 8-year-old shorts.

Abraham’s old clothes were far too large.

So he has three pairs of jeans and three shorts

Now on the way, too.

I spent $288, but, thanks to sales, saved $225.

That’s how it is sometimes in No Spend Month.
