Day 23: Let's get organized!

Now that little miss is finally here, I have this strong urge to de-clutter and reorganize pretty much everything. I decided to start with baby clothes. Oye. This was perhaps not the best place to start because it is very overwhelming. I'm a bit of a pack rat and everything holds sentimental value so our entire attic is bursting at the seems with a bunch of...well, junk! I do have a ton of cute baby clothes and while I'm not sure if I'm done with having babies, I am 100% sure that I'm done with living in a storage unit. For realz.

So I pulled down some clothes and began sorting out things that I know little miss will wear, things to donate, and things to keep forever and ever. amen. Then it occurred to me that I was wasting my time going through girl clothes because I would just have to go through them again as Eva-cakes grows out of them. So instead, I put everything back into one pile (so much for the pre-sort), and then began working on Brycen's clothes. See the problem? I lose focus and start too many things and then I'm left staring at piles or in this case, writing a post about it. I did manage to get through Brycen's closet and dresser but have yet to pull down the umpteen number of Rubbermaid containers in the attic. I figure I should probably do something with the pile of Skylar/Eva clothes first. Maybe. We'll see. But before that can begin...let's organize the pantry! I have issues. Maybe ADD? Either way, it's a big problem and I'm lucky that my husband just goes along with my insainity.

So let's see...we now have a pile of girl clothes, a container of clothes to sell, and a trash bag of clothes to donate. Now add a very unorganized pantry and ....I quit. I decided to put all of the "projects" down and instead focus on paying bills because OOPS, those are supposed to come first. But since today is Wednesday, that means I have a very hyper two year old in constant need of entertainment. Today the Ipad came to my rescue, for a little while. Here's my work pile and my work assistant..he's pretty cute.

After the Ipad would no longer suffice, I asked what he wanted to do and he quickly yelled "BOOTCAMP!" This was my fault since I mentioned earlier that morning that we would be going but we didn't make it. Why? See above. No problem. We'll just have our own BYBBC. That's "back-yard baby bootcamp" if you're not down with OPP. Nerd alert. ANYYYWAY...so I got a workout list together, some tunes, and we headed in the backyard. It was actually pretty nice and he really did do most of the workout with me. If he wasn't doing his own workout, he was trying to "assist" me with mine such as sitting on my back while I attempted push-ups. Or trying to crawl through my legs while I did squats. Thank God we were in the backyard. Here's our list...

I should add at the very end...PASS OUT!
After that, we both came in sweaty and tired. HE got to take a nap while I cleaned up, made snacks and took a quick shower. We then headed to get our sass-a-frass little girl and came home for some fun play time. They played so well together this evening. I think some days they are BEST friends and today was one of those days.

At bedtime tonight, Skylar started singing Row, Row, Row Your boat. This is new and she must have just learned it because her version goes...

"Row, row, row your boat

Gently down a string.

Mary, mary, mary, mary

Life's a bud of drinks!"

 

I love having kids!! She also has many other Skylar versions to songs that I'll have to make sure and post later. Goodnight moon.
