Spring Break starts this Friday. I have a few things to get done before the kiddos are home. I’ve got to get to the grocery store, and get stocked up, and I have a few cleaning projects to do too.

The big question… Do I clean or not clean the boy’s room before Spring Break? On one hand it would be nice to clean out the toy bins, and tidy up a bit. On the other hand, they will trash it all Spring Break week, and I’ll have to do the job all over again. Tough call.

I do have a few Spring cleaning jobs to get to this week, if Agnes will let me.

• Deep clean the bathroom
• Sweep upstairs all bedrooms and hallway
• Sweep downstairs
• Clean out the toy bins (kids rooms, living room, and mini van)
• Clean out and organize my closet

During Spring Break:

• Have the kids try on all Spring/Summer clothes
• Clean out the closets and dressers
• Take outgrown clothing to be donated
• Weather permitting… Clean up the front yard, clean up the back yard, and flower beds
• Clean out kitchen cabinets, and reorganize kept items
• Clean out and reorganize the kitchen pantry
• Have the kids help out with small tasks: dusting, vacuuming, pet care, and toy pick-up too.

I am looking forward to having the kids home from school for a bit. It is nice to get a little break, I just hope the weather cooperates.
