Spring is finally here and we decided to start working on our bedroom situation, in preparation for the arrival of little miss Ellie. I think if she had come here and seen the complete chaos in Riley's bedroom she may have said "take me back to the orphanage!" Getting some of the cleaning, setting up, and bedroom rearranging done is helping to take our minds off the waiting. I might get the nerve to show a picture of Riley's room before we started! It was that bad! We love him, but he is undeniably the worst pack-rat EVER!!!!! (besides my father) We took two 30 gallon trashbags of garbage out of his bedroom! Not Goodwill items or things to be handed down to Rorey, but pure trash!! I found things and clothes that I forgot he even had, stuffed under the bed, in the closet, behind the bed, you name it , he had it! He is now moved to the smaller bedroom next door and is on a tight cleaning schedule!!! Our next order of business is to re-do the closets (our walk-in included) with more efficient use of space. Since this house is 110+ years old, we are not blessed with great closet space! We have to get things in order because even though we are still waiting, Ellie has enough clothes to fill one up already! Oh, but don't tell Rick that! Anyway, we made a great start on getting the bedrooms ready for our new family member and will be getting some furniture and "stuff" soon.
