We are almost at double digits till Baby Higgins arrive and the "to-do" list keep growing. I feel like we are preparing for the best and biggest house guest of all, one that will only be probably 7 lbs when she arrives and won't leave for 18 years. My BFF is coming over to day to help make some decisions. She is very creative and great with color. I hoping she can help me narrow down some paint choices and just be an unbiased sounding board. This week we have made improvements, but slowly. We have moved almost everything out of the Baby's room and transitioned the spare room into the office where I am currently typing. Getting the computer up and running was hard for the IT Specialist Husband. He had to run cords from old office through the attic to the new room. A two hour process. But we are up and running, minus the printer. Still have bags of trash, bags to go to goodwill and tons of clutter to go through. Progress is slow, but moving right along. The first estimate on the carpet came back higher than we thought, so we are going to get another estimate. We'll probably call our Dynamic Painters on Monday to set that up. But we have to go meet our HOA representative Evelyn to tell her what color we have chosen. The two plants outside the front of the house have been dug up and trash guys took the roots and dead magnolia from the back yard. The lime tree was pruned last week when John and Judy was here and looks great! With the five days of rain that we had it really helped the grass in the back which looks rich and green for a change.
All this is not only for Baby Higgins, most of these task needed to get done regardless. It is like Spring Cleaning times 10. We needed to declutter for a while, but never made it priority. It is time. But we sure are excited to celebrate a clean painted house, new carpet and organized once she arrives.
My goal to have everything the big tasks completed by Labor Day (the start of football season). Wish us luck!
