So, I usually "Nest" Throughout my second trimester, but this time it was quite busy with other crises. I am just ending it now, and starting my little projects. Perhaps little is an understatement. Garrett has been bitten by the home improvement bug as well and has been a massive help in my de-clutter/organize/re-arranging schemes. We have both finally resigned ourselves to living here for several more years, our original plan was to sell within 5 years of purchase, we have now been her for 4.5 years, so I guess it is time to settle in and make it truly our home.
In the last two weeks we have:
emptied out and re-distributed everything in the front closet
Built and installed 4 shelves for dvd's (housed in the former closet)
Removed everything from the toddlers closet, sorted it and returned it.
sorted, gave away and re-organized all toys after massive birthday haul.
Sorted and re-packed all baby clothing by gender and size
re-arranged living room furniture
gave away several pieces to the good-will
obtained a new chair
built, installed and painted a bathroom cabinet
painted the bathroom
painted the existing bathroom cabinet
re-organized my closet
re-organized under the bed
removed and re-organized everything in the hall closet.
re-organized and sorted crafting supplies and put them in the hall closet
touched up all the paint in the house
Hung two additional shelves in the toddlers room.
all this, while of course, keeping up with the housework, helping out family and staying up way too late watching star trek. the eventual goal is to have everything stored in the room it will be used in. sheets are now under our bed, towels and extra tp will be stored in my new cabinet, and the kitchen needs a total overhaul. I still have a list of about 25 more little tasks and projects I want done before the baby gets here. It looks like we may just finish. or not.
Next month:Potty training, sewing and crochet projects and learning to use coupons more effectively.
