Purging

So I know that I still have 3 months to go until this baby arrives, but I'm starting to get antsy about sorting out rooms and toys and books and beds and clothes and ....

We're in the process of painting Kara's room to make it more friendly for Jonas to share.  Curtis thinks he can finish that tonight (hopefully!).  We put up the bunkbed - the kids are so so excited about that.  It's still a huge novelty - I'm sure they'll get used to it!  This afternoon I started purging books and toys to downsize in the room - going from a 1 kid room to a 2 kid room means they each only have half as much space for toys.  I got both Kara and Jonas to help and it actually went great!  We made a keep pile and a giveaway pile and a baby pile and they really got into it!  I was so proud of them.  Curtis even admitted that they were better at that than he is!  I concur :)

Next step is to sell a shelf and fix up closets and then move Jonas in with Kara.  And then ... my, the list goes on and on.

Slowly but surely we are getting there.  And I'm sure we'll be ready when this baby makes its' arrival. And the truth is - I love this!  I love organizing and purging and sorting.  It helps to calm and quiet my mind when the space around me is calm and quiet too.  

Now if we can just come up with a name ...
