pregnancy growing and learning - getting things done

growing and learning

getting things done

We left the kids at my parents house last Thursday morning.  We spent Wed night at my SILs where we had a BBQ, fireworks, and homemade ice cream.  lots of fun.  So Thurs morning, we dropped off the two eldest (Bug, 6 and Bear, 4) for a week at grandma's.  nothing more fun than that!  We ot home Thursday evening - we spent the day running around Salt Lake doing errands easier done without children in tow.
Friday I started the cleaning.
I cleaned the basement.  reorganized the storage room, moving the paper goods (kleenex, TP, diapers etc) to the top of the kids' closet - it was just empty space collecting junk.  this freed up room on my shelves for the food storage I was reduced to placing on the floor for lack of room!  hehehe.
I straightened the "moving box" room - you know , the room with all the moving boxes we haven't unpacked after almost 2 years.  LOL!  maybe I should just toss those unopened at this point.
I cleaned the book room - found 2 socks.  cleaned the old toy closet under the stairs.  found 4 socks, including 2 church socks.  that boy is hopeless with socks.  I just bought him a dozen pair of socks.  last laundry day, he had 4 pair.
I then moved up the stairs.
On Satuday I cleaned the couch room, including washing the couch covers (1 sock) and the family room (where all the toys are now).  I also did the entry, the hallway and the laundry room (no socks).
Yesterday I cleaned the school corner and cubbies.  No socks, but a lot of garbage, markers-without-lids, crayons, and some wipies. 
I also straitened the toy cupboard where we keep the play-do, dominoes, stickers, puzzles, etc. and the kitchen (which had gotten very filthy since I was neglecting to clean that while I purged the rest of the house.)
Now I have all day today to clean my office.  ugh.  there was a reason I left that for last.  sigh.  oh, and I need to go do some gardening.  I should do that earlier than later so that it is not too hot.
anyway, have a great day.

Sounds like a very busy week you are having..but a great chance for the children to spend time with relatives.

Have a blessed week and remember ...."all work and no play...."
