Ten Closets

Most of you who are reading this know we are expecting a child in March. Some of my friends warned be about the "nesting" stage. I dismissed their advice. Karen is much too rational of a person to succumb to hormones. A description of nesting in Women fromWikipedia is:

"It is commonly characterized by a strong urge to clean and organize one's home^[6], and is one reason why couples who are expecting a baby often reorganize, arrange, and clean the house and surroundings. This behavior is colloquially known as "straightening out", "clearing the road", or "clearing the coast".

Now, it wouldn't be fair to say that Karen is "nesting." I should mention, however, that we have been taken on quite a few cleaning projects lately. For instance, I now know that we have 10 closets on the main floor of home alone. I know this now because each closet has been painstakingly cleaned, cataloged, and re-organized. Below you can see our Youth Ranch contributions from 10 closets (Guinness was polite enough to stand next to the pile for scale)

Unfortunately for Karen, we burned all of our twigs today, so she will need to find another material to build her nest!
