Spring Cleaning


Once we got the boys down for their nap today I had the crazy idea to clean out the garage. 8 hours later, we are finally done. We started by pulling everything out of the garage and putting it in either a sell, keep or trash pile. We also had a sort pile for the boxes that were full of miscellaneous things. Once we had 4 piles the boys woke up. At this point our progress was substantially slowed. Kae wanted to play with everything. Especially the things we want to sell. Izy kept crawling toward the bikes or trying to eat sticks. (Although he did put up with my taking pictures of him in the cute hat.) Still we were able to finish sorting the sort pile. Once everything was sorted we took a short break for a dinner picnic of pizza and cheesy bread. Then we started the long process of putting everything back in the garage. Andrew and I took turns putting things away while the other one was getting the kids bathed or dressed or into bed. With the kids tucked back in their rooms, progress sped up. We now have everything put away. We were going to try to have a garage sale in a couple weeks. However, we found out our neighbors are having one Friday & Saturday. We might try to have one then too and benefit from the traffic their sale gets. We'll see if we can get everything priced and ready to sell by Friday.
