Saturday November 12

The morning started out good when we went as a family to get the church cleaned.

The kids had fun and we talked about how many hands make light work.

I think it was a good experience for all of us.

Then we got home and got to work.

Today we cleaned out the garage.

We didn't quite go through everything.

But we got a lot of stuff out of the way.

And we got enough stuff out of the way so we can get the car in.

So that is pretty great.

Brent took a trailer load full of stuff to DI.....well to the Di trailer sitting in our church parking lot :)

Works out perfectly!

I will now just go box by box and go though it and get it put away as I have the time to.

It is a more do-able task now then the mountain that was in the garage.

The big girls went through our box of dress ups and played for quite a while that way.

They kind of crack me up and have I said before how much I love it when they get along????????

Oh they crack me up!!!!!

The cubby thing I made got brought into the mud room today too.

I am excited with how it turned out.

I still need to get some pulls for the drawers.....and get some hooks for the opposite wall to hang backpacks and coats on.

But with this, each kid has a bin to put their shoes in.

And we all have our own drawer to put things like gloves and scarves and other stuff like that.

I hope it will help us keep a nice and organized mud room!

(I also needed to add that this dresser was FREE!)

So I know we got a lot done today....and it is so nice to have that stuff done....but the real truth is, Brent and I are miserable.

It has been so long since I have been sick.

I REALLY don't like it.

Body aches, tired, sore throat.

So not fun.

We kept busy for most of the day....but we are very ready to just sit and relax and get better.

I think this last week we were just go-go-go and we didn't get the sleep we needed.....or ate very good.

So now we need to just relax and get better.

But it is SO HARD to relax when there is so much to do!!!!
