Finally finished...

I know it only took a week...but what a long one! Steve and I were able to finish the spring cleaning and the family rules sign. I did not take a before picture but I took a during picture with the contents strewn about even more.



This was the storage room. We also cleaned out both closets and any other hidden clutter. I am a sucker for the "I might need that again, so I better keep it" mind set. I was so tired of it, hence the purge! We ended up with everything donated, thrown out, or organized neatly in tubs in closets, which left us with this



So, so nice. Now, I just have to get some sleep so I can use the new wii room. I will post pics of the rules soon.

Spring Cleaning

This is the first year we have taken part in spring cleaning. I am purging the entire apartment. Well, I am making piles of goodwill, dump, and so on while Steve is going through the exercise of actually moving everything out. This is really hard work considering it hasn't been done this thoroughly in five years. It was probably not the smartest idea to start this project during the week, but it will be worth it when we are done. Sydney has been such a big helper too. I keep trying to throw ecerything out and she keeps falling in love with "new" objects. So we compromised and she is getting to keep this mat.



At least until her play mat gets here...
We are rewarding ourselves by creating a grownup room. The rest of our place is kid friendly and overtaken by toys. By next week Steve will have his podcasting studio and I will finally have my wii room!
