A Little Project

This week I finally cleaned and organized the Foyer. After all of the cleaning was finished,  I decided to work on a little project. I grabbed my level and a screwdriver, and I hung a little Coat Rack for the kiddos.

I hung the Coat Rack right by the front door, at Thade’s level. There is plenty of room for their Winter coats, and Thade’s backpack too. The best part, the kiddos can reach up to grab their own coats, and they are responsible for hanging up their jackets too.

I used a basket that I already had on hand to store all of the Winter hats and scarves. I hope to find a little wooden step-stool (that I can paint) to place under the coat rack as a mini shoe-rack. Maybe I’ll come across one at the Spring time yard sales.

All in all I’m happy with how the project turned out, and I love how neat and tidy the coats are. Now time to get the living room organized (again)… the projects continue.

A Night Out

Today my hubby and I are having a night out. I’m super excited! We are taking the kiddos to a sitter, and then we are off to dinner with his co-workers. It is a belated Christmas dinner, but I know it is going to be fun. Some of the MOPS moms (and hubbies) are meeting at the same restaurant, so I hope to see some of my friends tonight too. I can’t wait to get out of here for a bit, enjoy a little break and, oh yeah, no dishes to wash tonight too.

What are your weekend plans?  Are you staying in or heading out tonight?
