October To-Do Check Up/ November To-Do

Before we get to lists, note that I am combining the two posts today because as I mentioned November is pretty much a write off as far as getting much done, so I'm trying to remain realistic with what we can accomplish. M is in fire training for the first two weekends, so it will be hard to accomplish  much at those times, which leaves us 2 weekends, but not whole weekends because busy season is on with the buisness - which means they start working Saturdays!

Also don't miss out on my give away!! Your winning chances double because she is almost at 100 likes, which means she is doing a GIVE AWAY on top of mine!!

October To-Do List

We almost tackled everything on the list last month! Just a few things we didn't get around to!

- shred old bills - I know there will still be more in the filing cabinet!

- make bill binder

- bring in bassinet 

- take table out of sewing room - done

- set up bed in sewing room - done

- pick Grey paint color - done! Nursery colors are officially picked!

- clean hot tub - done

- put glass wear away

- wash baby stuff Sue gave us - this was not a priority after the flea outbreak, I'd rather all baby stuff to stay safe tucked away!! I will end up washing it when I wash all the rest of the baby stuff at this point.

- bring up bassinet bedding - although I only ended up finding one part of it and need to buy the rest!

- make back basement cat ready

- move cat litters to the back basement - they aren't loving the transition, but I am!

- pick a color for nursery furniture 

- paint nursery - ceiling is done!!

- clear out nursery - done, aside from the furniture that's staying in there

- paint nursery furniture 

- go through the rest of the basement bins - I've done 2!

- clean office 

- close the pool

- cut back gardens/trees - done aside from the trees!!

- put up kitchen back splash - we have actually decided to hire this done, as we found someone within the village that will hopefully do it and he can have it done waay quicker than M!

- finish kitchen hardware - there is still only 3 left to finish

- buy fabric for baby quilt 

- start baby quilt 

- start crocheting baby blanket - started!!

- figure out home for stand alone mirror - I think we will incorporate this into the new bathroom design somehow!

- put away patio furniture

Some extras we did get done:

- registered for Baby V! This was a big job! Hard to pick what might be best for baby! 

- moved big dirt pile from driveway to around the pool

- washed a heck of a lot of laundry, including all curtains!
