An Update on The "It has to get done" list

We have been busy little bees at our house the last month and I am actually happy to report that A: I have not had any preterm labor, B: I have not killed anyone, and C: We have actually gotten some things done from my rather long list! My ever so cute 22 year old brother Eric came over today and basically was my slave all day. He did this out of the kindness of his heart and plus I think he likes to do it even though he probably wouldn't admit it out loud. Tyler has been run ragged doing all he has to to lately so Eric helped me get to some little things that needed attention. What a sweetie. I decided to put my list on here so I can feel like we are making progress with everything. First a rundown of what me and Eric did today.

*We hauled a chair out of my basement and took it to Tyler's sister
*Crushed about a million soda cans
*Halfway cleaned out the garage (it was a disaster!)
*Hauled out the old vanity from the basement and brought in the new one from the garage
*Put away all my patio furniture for the winter
*Eric shoveled some ice and snow from the back cement
*Moved all my newly acquired food storage to the basement
*And Eric watched my kids while I went grocery shopping! Yee Haw!

# Do not go into labor in the process of all of this work (So far so good!)

# Dig out baby clothes from the storage room (DONE!)
