Compact: We did it!

Well, we made it all the way through our first month without many issues. I guess what this tells me is we have way too much stuff and don't really need anything at the moment. Most things can wait, can be found used, or can be dismissed. We'll be participating in a garage sale this spring (if I can convince Meena to come down and watch the kids for that morning:), so I'll be going through the pile of baby stuff in the basement and getting rid of the baby clothes, toys, and equipment! It will feel good to get rid of some of that stuff!

As we venture into our second (final) month of the compact, we'll have a few more challenges with a holiday thrown in there and the change of seasons so we'll be checking out the kids spring clothes, shoes, etc. I've got some things that I need to attempt to get fixed. We've still got most of our new purchase fund left so we'll see if we make it through the month. I'm hoping to hold Jared off as long as possible to start buying discs and such but he may be opting out of the compact here soon.

Stay tuned for more details of our real life! I've got some pics to post but they just aren't going to get on here tonight.
