even though sept.has had the most consistently nice weather of the whole summer, it is still feeling very much like winter prep around here. the fair has passed for another year, and much much fun was had. we did some math and figured that the price of the wrist band was equal to enough tickets for (approx) ten rides, and i’m pretty sure my kids went on every single ride at least ten times…….so yeah……we ate so very much junk food, threw darts to win junky prizes, marveled at the fancy chickens and perused the crafts and other entries. i really love the fair and the family tradition it’s becoming. molly was so good as well, a trouper considering we were there for about 7 hours.
and today was spent on the above mentioned winter prep. ryan stacked the last two cords of wood. i spent the day sorting clothes. out with the summer, in with the winter. sort the still good for next season from the too smalls to be packed away for the next in line. getting through it all is a good, 2 or 3 day job in all i’d say. a job i loath.
and today i also unpacked all the 3-6 and 6-9 month clothes too. and i started sorting out the teeny tiny clothes. the best ones for consignment, the rest for the thrift store. it made me a little sad. the clothes not so much, but the bassinet……. this week we’ll put the crib together and the bassinet will also go to consignment. the little white bassinet that all the babies slept in. until they couldn’t fit anymore. i’ve always hated packing away the bassinet because it meant the babies were getting big. and now it isn’t just getting packed in the basement for the next baby, but it’s going. sigh.
at least our bedroom here is huge. lots of room for the crib. it was a tight fit in our old place. then some much needed cleaning out and organization of the upstairs as well. some shuffling of furniture, i think we’ll need a dresser in our room for baby clothes, so very many baby cothes. and hannah has two dressers in her room right now. and i think i’ll start painting the bathroom next week maybe. we’ll see. it’s fall cleaning, since i was too pregnant to be bothered with spring cleaning.
we have about one more month before the snow flies.

I envy your fall. It was over 100 degrees here in California.

i envy your warm, believe me
seasons are nice, it’s true. i’d happily take spring and fall if it could just come with only one month of winter, a nice snowy december, maybe january, hovering around -5….beautiful.
it’s the long months of -30ish weather with only 8 short hours of (grey)daylight that really put a damper on that whole seasons thing
