BUSY BUSY BUSY!

Well, we have been busy! Now that the weather is nice, we are challenged with not only keeping up the inside, but also outside! Kevin has mowed the lawn twice already! We had to seed some areas due to our dry summer last year. The dandelions have taken control :) I am sure we are looked down upon from our neighbors with the perfect lawns, but OH WELL, we are getting our little boy! It seems silly to waste money on lawn chemicals at this time...
Shaun's room is ready! The crib is up and dressed! It is such a nice, peaceful space. We really hope he likes it. I already feel bad for him because his room is so much smaller than his sisters, but he is a boy after all ( much less stuff)and we do not plan on living in this house forever....
I have done very well with NOT buying everything. I look back and think of all the things I bought for Abby that she never touched, didn't fit, or wasn't needed. I am trying not to make the same mistakes. The only things I can even think of absolutely needed are a car seat and a baby gate. Everything else we either have or we will wait on. Size matters at his age and until I have him in my arms, I have no idea.....so I am not purchasing much now.
The hardest part is finding places for the things that have been stored in his room for the past 4 years. It has made me realize just how unorganized we really are here. I am starting to feel that some nesting is in order. Since Grandpa is coming in June, it gives me an extra push to get it done.
Abby has only 6 weeks left of KINDERGARTEN!!!! Time really flies! Soon she will be a 1st grader and it will be such a change to have her gone all day. I know she is looking forward to it, but not me. I am really going to miss her come the fall. Hopefully we will be back from Thailand and I will have Shaun to keep me company! (this is my wish!) It sure will be strange carrying that diaper bag again....a blue one this time!
