Let's start with Spring Break. The boys went with Nonna and Poppi to Phoenix for 9 days. That's right 9 child free days! What did we do? We cleaned. We deep cleaned each of the boys' rooms. We cleaned out the closets in our room as well as each of the boys' rooms.
The crown jewel of cleaning week was the playroom. It started out looking like this:
There were toys, books and buckets everywhere! You could barely walk in the room without stepping on something. It was crazy! We started by sorting the toys and we gave away about half of them. We also gave away about half of the books. Here is part of the giveaway pile:
Then we took the remaining furniture and toys out of the room and shampooed the carpets.
One of the boys' favorite toys is their dress up clothes. They play superheroes, pirates, firemen, cowboys and knights all the time. I figured I should wash them while the boys were gone. The clothes line of dress-up made me laugh. What must the neighbors think of us with this clothes line?
After all the cleaning and organizing, Here is the finished room:
Don't worry. We did take a night off from cleaning and have a date night while we were child-free. We had a delicious dinner at the melting pot. Yum!
It was nice to get some projects done but after 9 days I was ready for my boys to come home. I missed them like crazy!
