No Mercy..

This is my DI pile.. well, part of it.
There is no mercy in my house when it comes to what we are holding on to.
The spring cleaning bug has bitten, hard, and I have been in the mood for a month plus. Many projects, cleaning, organizing, and painting. We've been busy around here!
My largest (and hardest..) under-taking was going through all of my little girls clothes (from 0 months-5 girls) and giving or throwing away many items.
Flashbacks came heavy and hit hard.
I then organized it all...
It was hard going through Peyton's next size.. these are the clothes Lynn wore when I was pregnant with Ash.. there's my body clock.. ticking away.. telling me what I should really be doing right now, gestating..
I am trying to put it all aside.
Took apart the changing table (first time it has ever been taken apart and packed away.. it's always been up in the nursery, waiting for the arrival of the next little one.). I am planning on painting the nursery. Peyton needs a big girl room, and if I am really done having babies, I need the reminders, the things that make me long for another little one, out of sight.

You could make some money off the clothes you didn't want if you lived down here.

yes... to all :D

Ashley and Devan said...

I don't think you should be done having babies.. you guys make the cutest kids. We are not planning on having anymore kids until Devan is done with Pharmacy school (so like 4-5 years from now). I keep thinking I need to get rid of Hunter's baby things.. but I just can't seem to let go of certain clothes or toys. Gosh its hard.

done??? are you serious? I thought I would get at least 4 more nieces or nephews from you guys!!! =(

Well.. not out of choice.. for now. It would be much later if and when we do (or would..).. long enough for life to settle, get better health care, more money, mostly more money to get a bigger vehicle.. going into debt is a big deal to us.. a new car right now would put us there!
