We were able to take all of the items that I wanted to donate to the drop-off this weekend. It felt SO good! I was tired of looking at all of that STUFF that we no longer used or needed. What a great way to start a new year. (I think I've always considered August the start of the year instead of January, thanks to school....but that is a different topic.)
Anywho, today was Clean Out Dear Son's Closet day. We have noticed that we keep grabbing clothes from his closet that are too small and on our newly growth-spurted child, (I know, I know, terrible word choice. What can you do? ha) the clothes were looking a little shrunken. Today, he as at school and I decided to use my daughter's nap as a time to sort through and fold all the clothes that are currently residing in his closet when they should be in storage. I keep nearly all of his outgrown clothes for future children. And really, I love "girling" up some of this more neutral clothes. It represents a fun challenge that also leaves my daughter looking cute but not overly girly. (Pink makes me want to vomit. But that, too, is a subject for another time.)
Naptime commenced and I tackled that closet like a linebacker on opening day. The sorting and folding really did not take me too long, and now I have a gorgeous closet that can hold ONLY the clothing that he can wear. My hope is that if I really use September to knock out all of the organization that has been desperately needed for months, maybe October can be a fun month of crafts for my son and myself. I plan to make costumes, so I'll need the time and organized house to accomplish that one. I'm thinking St. Michael the Archangel and a baby angel, this year.
What about you- any big fall projects or checklists? What are you going to do for Halloween? (I'll share more about my plans later. C'mon, it's only mid-September.)
