Because it's cute & I'm busy

To say I'm a tad overwhelmed right now would be a drastic understatement. The end of my school semester is rapidly approaching, meaning that I have several assignments and projects due over the next week. We're also playing host to five adults and one toddler (in addition to my own, of course) this weekend. This has resulted in a mad cleaning and organizing frenzy on my part.

Which has led to me realize just how much I have to do before Baby Two arrives in August. I allowed myself to write out a to-do list tonight (something I had previously avoided because I didn't want my Type A self to have a meltdown) and, wow-- we're going to be busy. Besides the obvious getting-ready-for-baby stuff, like laundry & shopping & preparing the nursery, we're playing musical rooms with the bedrooms in our house. Meaning, Matt & I will be moving our bedroom upstairs into what is now our gym room (our master is currently downstairs, an arrangment I have hated from the moment Camden was born. And to have a toddler and a newborn sleeping upstairs while we're downstairs? No thanks!) Then, Camden will be moving into his current playroom, which is the bigger of the remaining bedrooms upstairs. And Camden's little sister will be taking over Camden's current room, so it will need some redecorating. Our master bedroom that's currently downstairs will become the new gym room. See? It's a lot.

So, right now, I'm just focusing on getting through hosting duties this weekend, and the end of the school semester next week, and then I'll start obsessing over my crazy to-do list.

Now, I will leave you with some cute:
