Okay I did some more research and I seem to be hitting the average with my list. This is not a minimalist approach I guess, but I think I'd get bored seeing my kids in the same outfits over and over and over. Heh. I can actually imagine paring it down more when a child's favorites are found and worn more often, but I am afraid if I started with less I'd end up with two shirts one of them would wear. And we DO need at least two stocking caps. They sweat in them like crazy and they get nasty. There were days last winter when they needed a hat nearly everyday and I need a chance to wash them or they get really smelly. Glove liners are thinner gloves to go inside waterproof gloves for warmth. They are also good for warmth when you don't need waterproof. You can buy expensive moisture wicking ones, but I usually use those cheap little stretchy knit gloves you can get in the dollar bins at various places.
As horrible as it seems, this is probably less than half of what they have now. Yes, really.
