Time to Get the Baby Clothes Down

As I sit here wiping tears from my eyes, I have decided to get rid of some of the boys clothes. I am a HUGE clutter bug when it comes to them and their baby stuff, but it's time to sell some and start fresh. I have about 8-10 containers full of clothes and they didn't even wear 1/4 of it. I'm looking into Consignment places that will buy for fair price. Most of their clothes are name brand, so I have high hopes. I think that will be my project next week...maybe. Our poor attic could use some space up there considering that's all that's up there. I mean, who doesn't want to ooh and aah over those cute clothes?!
 Oh no! I just realized we have new neighbors. There goes my extra parking spot. I'm a little hesitant with new neighbors, only because we have 2 sour apples in our subdivision. Trash moves in and it makes the place look hideous! We are blessed to live in a nice subdivision and we don't need people trashing it up and making the value go down. When I walk out the door and see teeny boppers sitting on their roof smoking something good, then I have a problem with it. I do not want my kids around that. I did confront them and haven't seen them do it since. Now the woman's daughter has boyfriend drama and he jumps in his car and goes about 60 down our little street. Darn the little 16 year olds. Yes, I have a problem with that too. I am waiting for it to happen again before I approach them. Anyway, this family looks nice, clean, and perfect for this home. Maybe I should make some cookies and go introduce myself. Oh man! I just made myself feel like a Desperate Housewife :)
 Tomorrow is Clemson Fan Appreciation Day and if the rain holds then we will be spending our afternoon there. In case you didn't know, we are huge Clemson fans! Last year, Bentley, had his picture taken with players and this year I hope for the same. I'm not looking forward to fighting the crowds, people get serious when it comes to autographs and greeting. I just want the a picture of the boys and the Tiger. If it ends up raining tomorrow, I think I will have the Hubs start cleaning and organizing our garage that's packed floor to roof with "move in" boxes. Yep! We are behind.
 Next weekend, I am painting my living room! I am going from brown to turquoise. It's a far stretch in color, but I am tired of the old traditional walls. I think my modern lively side is coming out because I have been in a design mood lately. Not complaining, that's for the Hubs. He isn't wanting to paint, so I am taking matters in my own hands. Our kitchen is red, so I'm hoping the colors look as good as it does in my head! After that, I will be painting our 1/2 bathroom downstairs. I'm not sure on the color yet, any ideas? It's a persimmon orange right now. I am so excited!
Fall temperatures this week! How exciting! I'm ready for Fall and college football! I love to be outdoors when it's crisp out--especially chasing two lovely kiddos this year! My LO, Sawyer, hasn't tried to walk yet which is OK--I'm in no rush. He does however, say "Mama", "Dada", "DoJo (MoJo)", and "All done". He is only 11 months old. His Birthday is next month and I am doing Dr. Seuss theme! His plates and decor came in the mail the other day--can't wait to celebrate! I am Pinteresting cake ideas. I may be plain jane again this year and just do cupcakes. I feel like it's pointless when you slave for hours baking and spending a lot of money when no one shows. It's such a bummer!

 Anyway, I'm getting ready for bed. Hope you are enjoying your weekend as much as I am!
