Justification!

Okay, so I've been ragged on for rarely posting anymore. Here's my explanation:

Below you'll find my To-Do List for before the baby comes (in 7 weeks, but the list must be completed in 6 weeks because I'm OCD and must be prepared).

Things to purchase/retrieve and assemble:
1. Dresser for Lauren **Greg just finished this tonight!
2. Office chair **Greg finished this today!
3. Chair for nursery
4. Baby's crib (borrowing from a friend but have to assemble)
5. Twin bed and trundle for Noah (he's so big!) **Ordered it.
6. Mattress and box springs for Noah's bed
7. Ginormous Playset for backyard
8. New Gas Grill (Happy Father's Day, Honey!)
9. Sit-and-stand stroller
10. Shelving for nursery, laundry room, and kids' closets
11. Ceiling fan for our bedroom and faucets for our bathroom (the kids don't get ALL the new stuff!)

Things to clean out and/or sell:
1. Regular stroller and jog stroller
2. Old office desk and chair
3. Noah's crib

Things to arrange/clean/etc:
1. Get all carpets professionally cleaned.
2. Turn the playroom into a nursery! This means the closet has to be cleaned out of all toys, which then have to be put in their new places in either Noah's or Lauren's room.
3. Clean out Noah's closet and Lauren's closet to make room for toys from playroom!
4. Move ENORMOUS armoire and TV from playroom into downstairs guest room.
5. Move couch from playroom into loft.
6. Move Lauren's baby furniture into new nursery, set up crib and organize new baby's closet.
7. Decorate "new" loft area and nursery.

Can't wait to see you soon!

Of all that stuff I'm just happy to read that you're FINALLY getting a new office chair. : )

Why aren't you using Noah's crib for the new baby? Why moving Lauren's furniture into the new nursery?

Sheesh, you guys are rollin' in the dough. What recession?
