Progress…

My mom came up this long weekend and we made a lot of progress on getting the house ready for the new baby!  I was hoping we might have some time to play but it was all business!! I guess there’s more to be done then I thought!! I would never have gotten so much done without her!! She really keeps you focused!!

Check it out…

First we went through about 4 bins of clothes that were once Noby’s and now will be for the new baby.  I guess that is one HUGE plus for having a second child the same sex as the first!  Noby had so much clothes that many of the outfits were only worn once to twice.  We washed all the smaller sizes and filled the baby’s dresser.  We also moved all of Noby’s clothes into his new dresser and organized his closet.  Once his new room is ready we can just transfer the hanging clothes to his new closet.  We also washed all the blankets, burping clothes and sheets so they would be washed in the special detergent.

We also worked on my closet!  Which made me super excited.  From this angle it looks like our old closet, lots of clothes..

turning clockwise you get the sink and the dresser that was moved into the closet. I still need to get one hook for the side wall for all the hats on top of the dresser. It will fit nicely under the hook for my necklaces.

Next we moved the makeup cabinet to this wall.  I got rid of a ton of stuff so the bottom half of the cabinet is used for some small crafting stuff.

And my favorite part of all…  Don’t look at the mess on the desk, that should be cleaned tonight.  I just need to have Ichiro hang one thing.  But all the crafts have been organized into this area.  I got plastic bins to organize; one for knitting, one for sewing (ok maybe two for sewing), one for card making and a few for scrapbooking.  I love how I was able to hang the curly ribbon from under the shelf.

There was great progress made in Noby’s new room too.  Ichiro finished running all the wires, hung all the drywall and taped most of it!  Also the closet doors came in AND we get measured for carpet tomorrow!!! Things are falling into place!!
