I think if I have to deal with one more piece of clothing I might snap. Ha! So it started a few months ago. We were talking about how we needed to bring down the winter clothing. Between getting busy with other things and the temps still in the 70's it just got put on the back burner. Until today. I have been making up some lists of things I needed to do to prepare for the baby. I was looking over my list that the midwife gave me, and low and behold I only have two weeks to get all the birthing supplies ready and waiting! Whoa! Were did the time go? So I thought it time to go up and get the newborn clothing to get it washed and waiting. The BOY baby clothing :-) Anyways, it came to my attention that we had also planned on going through ALL of the clothing to get it put into labeled bags. We determined that if this baby proves to be a boy that we would be getting rid of all our girl clothing (seeming as the baby girl clothing is over 13 years old!). So Isabella, Moira and I pulled down all of the clothing, with the exception of a couple of boxes that I knew were labeled correctly. If my friends Melody and Kim had seen my living room, they may have passed out! Don't worry guys, it's all back in order now. I had clothing on every square inch of the living room and couches! It took me hours to sort through each and every single piece of clothing. I sat in one spot while I had each girl take turns helping me to put the article in question under the proper paper label (I taped size labels on the couches and along the wall). I bagged them up and then Jeremiah carried them all upstairs. Now I have my living room back, a lot of laundry to wash, and a HUGE task checked off my list of things to do! Yee haw!
I wish I took pictures as it was a sight to behold. Maybe next time? We had a simple dinner, corn bread and baked beans. Then we all got to work to pick up so that we wouldn't have any chores to do tomorrow. We will be taking it easy, making a pie, and then our regular chicken dinner. Not too many extras this year.
Well I'm off to relax! Have a wonderful THANKSGIVING!
