Clothes, clothes and more clothes

I went through a bunch of baby clothes this week! I ended up with six large bags of clothes to donate, sizes newborn through 12 months. I sorted the 2T clothes for warm/cold weather and got them read to store for the Cat. I did the same with the 4T stuff, only that's for the Bee. I even discovered a couple of things that the Bear will be able to wear this fall for school! Not bad, considering how much time I've been spending on Preschool stuff, getting ready for board elections and budget presentations.

So, let's see how the list of things for this month is going:

Get back on my cleaning schedule.
Plan my garden and set the plan in motion (seeds or starts?)
Sort all of the clothes that Cat has grown out of and donate them.
Sort all of the clothes that Bee has grown out of and get them into storage for Cat.
Sort all of the clothes that Bear has grown out of and get them into storage for Bee.
Start cleaning up the front yard for spring.
Reorganize the kitchen.
Start getting the house ready to sell.

Yay! Progress!

I'm still waiting to get outside to work on the yard. We had a few sun breaks and the kids played outside, but it's still a little cold. We had several days of frost and even woke up to snow one morning! The farm where we get our produce is selling veggie starts, though, so I might give up on the idea of seeds for this year and just do that. Our local farmer's market starts up in a few weeks, too, and they always have fun stuff there.

Today, though, I'm catering to Hubby's whims... it's my birthday present to him. He gets to lounge around all day if he wants and I even fed him breakfast in bed. I have a roast going in the crock for dinner. The girls and I will draw him some pictures later and then make brownies for after dinner. Happy birthday Hubby!

April? Really?

I don't know where the time went! We had a few family wide illnesses run through us along with a couple of birthdays (Bear is 5! Cat is 1!) and a big preschool fundraiser and, all of a sudden, it's 2 months later!

So, no new progress on anything. It's officially spring, I have no seeds and no planting beds. My house is a cluttered mess. The office is full of clothes that the baby has grown out of and, yet, I haven't been able to sort or donate them yet.

We have decided that we're probably/most-likely/definitely/maybe moving sometime in the next year or so. We'd like to be settled somewhere before Bear starts first grade and the school program/reason we were staying in this school district for seems to be out now. We'll be staying in the area, but we might get more land!

Being April 1st, it seems like an odd day to set goals but I'm going to do it anyway. This month I will:

Get back on my cleaning schedule.
Plan my garden and set the plan in motion (seeds or starts?)
Sort all of the clothes that Cat has grown out of and donate them.
Sort all of the clothes that Bee has grown out of and get them into storage for Cat.
Sort all of the clothes that Bear has grown out of and get them into storage for Bee.
Start cleaning up the front yard for spring.
Reorganize the kitchen.
Start getting the house ready to sell.

This may be ambitious, but well see at the end of the month...
