Friday's Facts: The List

Well, since my post about nesting with my to-do list we have been working at it non-stop.  Of course, there's regular things that have to be done that always get in the way of doing the "extra things".  So, I am copying and pasting my original list, plus adding some.  I will bold the ones I have already done...

1) Buy him a carseat
2) Clean out the bassinette and decide if I can use it still3) Put newborn and up to 3mos clothes in his dresser
4) Before that I need to completely empty it out, some of Elise's things are still in there
5) Make "BOY" curtains
6) find a pattern and make a red bumper for the crib
7) maybe even make a wall hanging with remaining fabric
8) Clean carpets, even if with just water
9) organize medicine cabinet
10) Clean out fridge
11) Make more hats and diaper covers
12) Organize Matthew's closet
12) organize Johanna and Alaina's closet
13) wipe down walls and baseboards
14) windex windows
16) organize laundry room
17) hang pictures in basement
18) get all kids newest pics done
     a. Katie
     b. Danielle
     c. Johanna
     d. Alaina
     e. Matthew
     f. Elise
19) get maternity pictures done
20) pack hospital bag
21) organize garage the best I can
22) organize my craft and clothes closet
23) clean out van
24) buy newborn diapers and nursing pads
25) organize pantry

Thankfully I have helpers... Danielle organized the fridge and pantry for me, Johanna organized the cupboards with cups and the ones with plates and bowls.  Matthew and Alaina organized the cabinet with color books and crayons.  Johanna mostly did the medicine cabinet, she needed my help with just knowing which meds to throw away and how to organize them.  All of the kids pitched in and helped clean the garage.  It was about the best we could do considering I am so very pregnant, and we had Elise to watch closely... in the rain, haha.
All I know is I am running out of steam and my "list" is getting longer! I am adding to it more than taking away from it.  Also some of these things are ongoing... like making hats... that will continue til baby is born most likely and some of those "organized" areas need to be organized again already!
