All Clean



I didn't get to do a post yesterday because me and my best friend the garbage bag worked on the kids rooms ALL day! I got 3 full bags of give way and one big bag of trash. There rooms are so nice and clean, I should take a picture because it will last longer! It just gets to a point that I cant stand and then I just go to town down sizing all there toys and junk. I just went into A's room to get her dirty clothes and 3 hours later and two big bag fulls of toys it was all nice again! It took me that long because in between cleaning I had to take brakes to feed the baby, change the baby and then do that all over again, he did do good just laying in whatever room I was in, or sitting on my lap while I went through toys. When I was in younger my mom would pay me to clean the boys room (I had 3 little brothers) because she knew I would throw everything away and organize it.

Does anyone know of someone that needs 0-3 mo. baby boy clothes? There nice and I don't want to just give them to goodwill if I know someone needs them. Also I think we will be out of 3-6 mo. pretty soon! He loves his milk what can I say! 5 more pounds and he has to get out of the baby car seat and into the toddler one! He is growing way to fast!
I'm glad you guys want to do some crafts with me! I think the first one will be appliqued shirts, should we wait until September to start? Or get going next month? And day time or Evening?

You know what I figured out yesterday while cleaning? That I like Black! The black garbage bag for cleaning, the black chair for time out which we had to use because Zander had pinched Maddens cheeks a little to hard and made him scream! My black dress that I am trying to get back into, black tee shirts that I ware all the time(black is slimming!), I had a black horse, I have only black picture frames(except in the kids rooms, there white) I have lots of black shoes, the computer that I sit at is all black, My counters are black, I am sure I thought of more, the things I think of while cleaning!!

The picture is of annalyse's bedspread(duvet cover, out of two flat sheets) that I made, my sister wanted to see what it looked like. I saw it at Target for $100 dollars and I really loved it so I tried to make one, it is not perfect but okay. I thought it would be easy to just sew ribbon onto it but keeping it straight was another story. Still it came out okay and way cheaper then the one at the store!

Oooooh, that is a great feeling, getting rid of so much stuff!! Are you sure those are their rooms? ;)they look like pictures out of a magazine! I LOVE the color of the walls in both rooms.
