It is labor day 2010, but we definetly did not obey the rules. Labor day, as I was told, was meant to be a relaxing, stress free day full of suntans and hotdogs. However, our labor day this year was a little different. We spent 6.5 hours cleaning out closets and such. (Did I mention I am a little hungry after all that work?...Mcdonalds would be nice...thanks hubby). Ok, back to my story...excuse the preggo cravings. We started with our closet and drawers. I packed a lot of clothes to hand down to little sis. She will love them :). Then, we did some general house cleaning. After about 3 hours, we decided to tackle the big boy aka the "soon to be nursery" closet. Oh my, let me tell you, that was a beast. Just to give you some idea of how random that closet had become, here is a list of a few things we had to organzie and clean out/throw away: 7 fishing rods, 2 tubes of college notebooks and notes, 2 mini christmas trees, 8 blankets, a tackle box, a bazillion bank statements, lots of random sized pillows, 4 huge picture frames, a coffee table, a packed up wedding dress, 6 luggage bags, and much much more. Can you imagine all that stuff hidden away in a bedroom closet? Don't ask me how it all got there. Oh, did i mention we also found 2 patio chairs, a cooler, and lots of wedding stuff we had been missing. In addition, I came arcross an empty scrapbook someone had gotten me as a wedding present (yay for a future craft day!).
After many hours of sweat and blood (yes, blood...david got cut a few times on random objects), we finally have a closet for the baby. Well, not to kid you, a half of a closet. Arg. Yes, we still need the other half for things that wouldn't fit into the two other closets. Maybe this is telling us something...we NEED MORE ROOM.
