Today was actually a Saturday with nothing on the calander! That hardly ever happens. I'm sure Derek saw it coming! We have been working on his room, cleaning and painting. My mom got him a new bed set and we got a dresser to replace the old one. So it is coming together nicely, but we still have a lot to do.
My mission was to get his old dresser cleaned out and put the new one in, and clean out the closet. Ick! We filled up 3 trash bags to take out. Not all was gross trash some was old papers and posters and stuff. We got all his paintball stuff organized and put away. We found old things that recalled cool memories and even some old pictures that make him look like an ANGEL!Well, now we can see his floor and his closet is all clean organized and vacuumed. We decided he doesn't use the tiny desk in his room anymore, so JD claimed it. JD got all kinds of neat treasures that Derek didn't want anymore. Hey, one man's trash is another man's treasure! Clothes were sorted and put out or away. JD of course has his fair share of hand-me-downs.
As all that was going on JD was on his own side mission. Once he saw that the hand-me-downs were plentiful, he knew he had to make room for them. He cleaned out his old dest and the rest of his room to make room for his big kid desk. I vacuumed really good(making sure I didn't vacuum those really valuable legos..lol).
All this time, Georgia was having the time of her life with a friend that spent the night. She had all that girl time!! That's a rare event in this house of boys. She and her friend made pudding, built forts, dress up and all the fun stuff that they wanted. That sounds messy but soooo worth it.
Days like this are tiring but a win/win day. Rooms are cleaned, kids are helping and/or occupied, and everyone is busy. Everyone will soon need showers and now I have a lot of laundry to do. All of that is okay with me considering the progress we made!
