A Rare Day

Well, I was motivated today. After bring home boxes and boxes of toys... I knew I had to get moving on my project that I have procrastinated about for weeks. (Months? Years? Probably not years, but months is probable...)

I cleaned and organized the girls rooms. After discussing with Gabe what our future plans are, what we want where.... and all that jazz... we made some decisions, a plan of action, and I got to work. Keep in mind, this did not include clothes. That will be the next project... in a few weeks....

I cleaned out the bottom of Melia's closet, moved a smaller size dresser inside of it, emptied the drawers under her bed and made them more user friendly- because only I use them, I put sheets and blankets, and swim/summer beach stuff in them to keep Kiera out. (She thinks sand toys are good year-round. She's not wrong, but I am trying to simplify here.) We came up with a box of keeper baby toys, and 2+ boxes of free sale stuff. Toys in-toys out. I was trying to picture Annie, Brooke, and Gabe's Uncle Matt in the room with me to help sort. :-) It worked pretty good! And thanks to Aunt Kathy's input, I only put four books in the freesale boxes ;-)

We didn't move any further furniture, but just sorting books from toys from Melia's stuff to Kiera's stuff.... on and on, but I am very satisifed with myself. This is something that I had been struggling with mentally for a while, feeling guilt over throwing the girls' stuff out, but I know it's going to go to families who will appreciate it all more than we do. And now we have some room for the new toys! And maybe some room for more organized play!
