- labeled everything in my house - when you come visit, you will probably laugh at me.
- bought cups, tubs and towels in red, green, blue, pink, yellow and purple. Each of the kids gets a color - for the rest of their life :)
- cleaned the garage
- bought a couple more rubbermaid tubs to store sheets, sweatshirts etc under the beds. (I always say that my dad should have bought stock in rubbermaid as soon as I got my first teaching job)
- cleaned the bathroom cupboards and cabinets
- bought socks that are color coded for the girls
- woke up at 3am wondering what else I could/should label
I can't believe that I am now the mom of 6. I woke up a couple times in the middle of the night just amazed at how exciting all of this is! Wow!
THIS JUST IN
We just recieved a $1600 matching grant from Thrivent for our Yard Sale next Saturday! They will match dollar for dollar the money we earn up to $1600! I can't believe it!
Thank you, THRIVENT!!!!

I have been following your adoption journey for a few weeks now and am so excited for you and your family, soon to be almost doubled in size! My husband and I are pregnant with our first child and hope to adopt from Ethiopia someday when our children are a little bit older.
This blog entry caught my eye, because I am just like you (minus 5.5 kids)...I love to organize! I use tubs and color-code everything...keep it up! I am sure that it will help keep everything straight after you have a houseful!
Love, this entry! I just found your blog again. I used to be so organized, not so much lately, but I am trying to get it back before the new baby(ies) gets home!
Congrats on a successful court date too!
Congratulations on your new kids! They are beautiful and you are all going to be blessed by this adoption. We adopted one from Ethiopia and our in the process for number 2 which will make 5 kids total for us.
