Spring nesting

So I haven't decided if i'm "nesting" or "spring cleaning" yet. What really is the difference? Isn't spring cleaning just nesting when your not pregnant? Thats kind of what I think, so I guess I'm just "spring nesting"? All the laundry is done, folded and for the most part put away! We need more dressers or less clothes. They are all filled to the brim, and there are only more clothes in baskets and storage...
Now the toys...thats a whole different story! The boys each have a tot/bin for their toys, which are over flowing to the floor and daddy had to bild selfs for Elijah room for the "big toys." With baby #3 on the way and being a girl she will get a whole new set of toys! I have been trying to sort and get rid of broken toys, and the less played with. But as soon as we get to the bottom the boys find a toy that is a favorite and just fell through the cracks. I feel terrible throwing away/donating toys. I know at one point all these toys were a favorite of one of my children. But at the same time they are just cluttering my tiny apartment!!
Working at McDonald's sure didn't help any. I got so so many free toys when I worked, and when I came in on a day off with the boys they always got 1-4 free toys from my friends/co-workers. I have doubles and triples of a lot of them. I have more toys and clothes for these kids than they will ever wear/use and i feel terrible getting rid of any of them! I need to just go in and find all the broken toys and toss them, all the stained clothes and toss them!
I have all the clothes Tiernan grew out of, but I promised them to my sister if she's having a boy (they aren't finding out) or my friend if she's having a boy. My sister has a boy and a girl so she doesn't need them, but as her sister i feel its my civil duty (lol) to give her first dibs! But my friend it's her first baby and she doesn't have anything. She finds out next tuesday what she's having. Thats going to be tough to get rid of Elijah and Tiernan's old clothes, I'm attached to them, its sad! We don't have room so I know they have to go, and this IS our last baby, i think, for a while..who knows!
Well after my little rant I need to get these toys ut of my living room so Eli can join his brother for a nap, and I can vacuum, clean out the closet in my room, and load the car with bottles and cans, and recyclables...
