I’ve Been Busy
I decided that it was time to go through the boys’ clothes.
I packed away winter stuff and clothing items that were getting too small. I moved some of Sam’s too small stuff into Max’s closet and put some other stuff away in storage. I went through Max’s clothes and packed away everything that he’s outgrown. It’s amazing that he’s only 9 months old and most of his 12 month stuff is fitting quite snug. I took an inventory of what summer items were needed: Sam needs nice summer shirts for church and muscle shirts for those hot summer play days, he could use some more shorts, too, as I’m anticipating that he will outgrow some of the smaller pairs by mid-summer. Sorry, Max, but you don’t really need anything, thanks to having an older brother!
I’m thinking of trying to get a yard sale together this summer. We’re collecting quite a bit of “extras” that we just need to get rid of, so we can finally get organized. We will no longer be needing our infant carrier, swing, bouncy seat, baby clothes, maternity clothes. You get the picture. The project of getting things together is the part I’m dreading. I hate going through things and, even though I hate clutter, I also hate organizing. Just another one of those weird aspects of my life.
On a side note, Max is starting to pull-up all by himself! Yeah, Max! Visit my other blog at www.mommomsharmony.blogspot.com for a full story and pictures.
I know what you mean. Getting all that stuff together is a bear, but once garage sale day came I was more than happy to wave bye bye to the clutter and hello to the cash. And baby stuff always goes so quickly!
Congrats on Max pulling up! That’s so exciting!
I’m dreading going through my daughters’ closet. I have to go through it at the end of each season because it’s just overflowing. It’s time to get the winter stuff out of there and figure out what they can’t wear anymore.
I have been on a clutter-cleaning-binge lately too! Garage sales are a pain in the watoozie but the money does make it worth while! Before my son was born a lot of our friends gave us oodles and oodles of clothes and at first I was thrilled. But now that I am having to store 2T and 3T sized clothing and my son is barely 2 months old, I’m thinking that they cleaned their clutter and generously gave it to me!! Ha ha!
I hope you had a fantastic Mother’s day!
