Taking the Scenic Route

We didn’t get the tree up, but the place is picked up and more organzied than it has been.  The playroom, for the first time since we moved in, is organized.  The packing boxes are put away.  The outgrown clothes are boxed up into “keep”, “sell”, and “give away”.  The clothes that are too icky for Goodwill are tossed.  The dollhouse is upstairs, but almost all of the other toys that have made this room a disaster are now organized in the playroom and the big room downstairs.  The fake food, dishes, grocery cart & kitchen toys are all in their own spots (old milk crates, but it works) along a wall. 

I honestly feel more moved in than I ever have here.  There is still stuff in the garage, but now I think we can tackle it a lot easier.  We got to a point where we declared “no more in until we get this organized”.  We are there.  Hopefully I can find the pan lids now.  lol.

Zora was glued to my side all day, but discovery of toys she hadn’t seen in a while excited her.  She dumped and played and rearranged and made it take about 10x longer, but since she was in my hair, she gave Zach a break and when I came back upstairs, it was all clean up here too.  That was nice. 

We are too tired to put up the tree, but we will be able to do that tomorrow in a nice clean house.  *happy sigh*

Oh, and a happy dance….mom offered to give us our Christmas money (our gift) early so we could shop for the kids.  Yeah!
