[sipping a as decaf as you can get cafe mocha]

Since I’m [so graciously] cozying up to the idea that lots of trucks and ruckus will be arriving in late February or early March, I decided that some pink has to go in the way of decluttering Kyla’s stash of baby clothes. I would really love to sell a few boxes of them on eBay, but not really sure how to go about it. The other half of me would love to donate them to charity because honestly, it’s easier than boxing, shipping and hoping someone buys them. So, I think I’ll go the easy route and put them in the trunk and take them to the Goodwill. The boxes are doing no one any good sitting in my basement collecting dust. Kris thinks I just want to buy new if we have another baby girl; I just want to free up the space for his things downstairs.

I already decluttered Kyla’s toybox in anticipation of Christmas afternoon at grandma’s. Kris put a small TV and area rug in the middle room for the children to have a playroom. It’s an amazingly cozy and fun area. I need to find some good art or designs to put on the wall. I would frame Kyla’s art, but I need to wait a few more months for that.

Next in order would be the middle bedroom for Asher. It needs a fresh coat of paint and the fireplace finished. It should take a good weekend or two to spruce up his space. I’m not in a hurry as the babies sleep in the bassinet in our room until the sleep through the night. We’ll get his a dresser for his clothes and some shelves for the necessities, which after having Kyla for 20 months, are not very many items.

Well, since masculine ruckus outside :) has woken Kyla from her nap, it’s time to get her from upstairs and bring her down. Oh since I did add fierce boys to the title, I should add why. This little man is quite the kicker, puncher and active baby– much more than my little bug. We’ve made it to 29 weeks without any hitches. We get another sneak peek at him next Monday afternoon. I’m way excited! :)
