operation get organized...

So yesterday my plan was to start getting this house really organized before my mom comes in a few weeks. She is coming to get some decor in this beige house! And that plan was reaffirmed when the daily devotion I read on www.proverbs31.org was about getting organized!!!

I was super productive while the kids were in school... I had a few church emails I had to send when I got home, then I got to work... my plan was to clear out my gmail inbox because my gmail account has been acting crazy and I hope that will help it. But, I felt not productive if I was sitting at the computer, so I cleaned house - dusted, vacuumed, cleaned bathrooms. So I got off track!

At 1pm an hour before I have to pick up the kids, I decided I couldn't handle Addison's room any more and if I at least got something done in there the day wasn't totally wasted! Her room is a constant headache for me, she has too much stuff and I am terrible at getting rid of things. And of course when I do get rid of something, that is the only item she wants a week later, when it was something she had not played with in months! So today, I filled a trash bag with junk toys and made another box of items to decide on. Some I may store for a while and see if I hear about them, so I will donate or sell. Her room needs some major decor help, and that on mom's list when she comes in a few weeks.

When the kids got home from school, there was a box on the front porch from Munka! Those boxes create such excitement in our house. When I saw it, Addison ran over to Jax to tell him there was one here, she grabbed his face and it was the cutest thing, luckily my camera was close!

The box was filled with Halloween treats and crafts. We did all of them this afternoon (so much for spreading them out and having a fun craft for tomorrow!), the kids loved it!

A fun afternoon of Halloween... and after all that, we got to go boo our neighbors who are coming back home tonight!!! Addison was so proud! I was out of nutter butters (those packages don't last long in this house) so I made them a different pinterest recipe (two pinterest trials in one week!)!!!
