Racking my brain....

I'm sure many of you can relate to having misplaced something. So you know the feeling of digging and digging to try and find it, and you can picture it in your mind. That's how I'm feeling today.

Chris and I worked on the new bedroom today. (Pictures coming as soon as I locate my camera). No, that's not the thing I'm missing, although it is another thing I misplaced. To say our house is slightly topsy-turvy right now, would be an understatement. If I had the camera I would show you the bedroom with all the stuff piled everywhere!

What I AM missing is a bin of clothing. I have pretty much saved most of the clothes from when the boys were little. I have just about everything but the size 2T- 3T. I actually have some summer 2T stuff, but it's all the winter 2T-3T that I am missing. Chris has been in the attic 3 times looking for it, and he pulled every bin down for me to look through. No luck. What a bummer. So, our older referral has some sz 4 clothing, if it will fit him. But our younger referral has nothing! I guess I will have to wait until between trips and go shopping like crazy! lol! I won't buy anything new until I get their actual sizes and measurements. Then I will be hitting consignment, and ebay. Oh, it's gonna be a fun time! lol!

I am also hoping I can find some bedding I need. I have a crib set from when DS1 was born. And believe it or not I still like it. I have the accessories to it and everything. I am hoping to find another one on ebay. Naturally I just saw one a month or so ago, but I didn't buy it, as I wasn't sure if I would need a crib quilt or what. But I was reminded that toddler beds actually fit a standard crib mattress, so that quilt would have been fine. Can I find it again? No........

I'll keep looking though. No sense buying two whole new bedding sets, when I like what I have. You know me... if I can somehow decorate frugally, and make it look awesome... I will! However, don't be surprised to find a picture post of brand new bedding that was on sale, that i just happened to fall in love with. This is the fun part for me... I love to decorate!

That's the update for now. I sure hope we find that bin of clothes, but I have a feeling it is g-o-n-e.

I just happened upon your blog in trying to get some info on homeschooling (that's another story). Anyway, I just wanted to say Congratulations and God Bless Your Family! I was really touched by your story! I think it is wonderful that you shared it so openly! I am sure that your two referals will have a wonderful, happy life with you!! I hope you keep updating on what is going on!

No worries! I have enough bins of little boy clothes for four families! Just name your size -- we will NOT be needing them anymore!

If anyone can find it, you can BUT I suggest you go find the camera first because you will NEED THAT REAL SOON!!! :-) Definitely wait to measure the kids (and don't forget to measure like I did!). Can't wait to see pics! So, so excited for you!
