The Cleaning Cycle Continues
For some reason Dylan decided to dump about 1/2 of the toy bins today, and why you ask, he was looking for one single toy. I decided that when he was taking a nap, it was time to reorganize the toy bins. To drive myself insane, I emptied all of the bins in the middle of the floor, and then sorted through the mess.
I came to a few cleaning conclusions… #1 my kiddos have WAY TOO MANY TOYS!!!!!! #2 I’m already dreading Christmas, because my kiddos have WAY TOO MANY TOYS!!!!!! #3 somehow I need to find room for all of the little girl/baby toys, and there is no room, because my kiddos have WAY TOO MANY TOYS!!!!! #4 if one more toy comes into the house, I’m gonna lose it!
So I cleaned and organized, and watched the food network as I cleaned and organized. I finally got the room put back together and vacuumed, and then Dylan promptly emptied his toy bins, because I finally found his trains. Looks like the cleaning madness continues for this weary gal.

It’s cold, and dreary outside today, sounds like a good day to take it easy and have a lazy Saturday. Well the kiddos are anyway, I’m playing catch-up around the house, and running a few errands today too. I hope to get caught back up on all of the dishes that need washed, and put away 6 loads of laundry too. I need to home dry-clean a few items for my hubby, and get our suitcases ready for the hospital. I also want to do some more cleaning in the nursery, but it is in pretty good shape thanks to my friend Kelly for helping out earlier in the week.
I have a big list, better get some breakfast, and get to it! Have a great weekend everyone!

Feeling Ambitious
I took the kiddos upstairs early last night, and decided that I would take an hour and a half to start the cleaning process on three closets. The closet in the office (James closet) was going to become the nursery closet, the closet by the bathroom (coats and such) was going to become James closet, and the open closet down the hallway (storage/stockpile/holiday) was going to become the catch-all closet. They all needed cleaned out, and they all needed swapped.
I started with the hallway closet, and a contractor grade trash bag, and got to work. I cleaned, and the boy’s watched, and laughed. Then I moved onto the closet by the bathroom, again I cleaned and cleaned, and got it done. I decided that I had plenty of time, and it was time to make the switch. I moved onto the office closet, and moved what I could out of it, and got it almost done.
James closet is finished, and the hallway closet has a big pile of clothes to go through. I even started putting away some of the tiny pink baby clothes in the nursery closet, and I am feeling pretty good about the progress. I’m still hoping that maybe one day we can put an extra closet in the master bedroom, switch that to James closet, and use the bathroom closet for out of season storage, but that is a whole other project.
I should probably clean out my closet too before the yard sale and the MOPS swap… Guess the cleaning is never quite finished around here!

Giving Up and Giving In
I’m putting in a request for an early Christmas/birthday/Valentine’s/any other holiday for a year or so present… a dishwasher. I’m hitting new levels of lazy, and cooking more than ever, and my hubby has wanted me to get one for quite awhile, so I think I’m giving in. I’m looking for some suggestions of brands that work well, but also don’t cost an arm and a leg. Time to do some comparison shopping, and rip out a cabinet too.
