Right now as I type this, my hubby just took a whole bed full of metal to be recycled at the recycle center. Next up he will be loading all the other crap (sorry mom) that has been sitting patiently in our yard & behind our shed, begging to be laid to rest, to the dump. It's free dump weekend. We are taking full advantage of it. Thankfully my subtle hints of how our yard is starting to look like we are related to the Clampets, have not fallen on deaf ears. I'm not kidding when I say we were turning into "those neighbors". You know the kind I'm talking about. I love that Dean has been working so hard on the outside yard. I feel like it's starting to match the hard work he has done inside.
Zoe has been daddy's little helper. Silly little girl. She kept asking me to take her picture & then would cover her eyes and just giggle. She did this over & over again.
Me, well I've been an organizing fool. I finally got the closets switched over. It took me most of the morning. I put all the girls toy sets into baskets. Somehow I have ended up with a little extra room. Go figure. It feels amazing when you walk into their room. I am so excited about how it's progressing. The girls are excited because they can actually find their toys. We both win. I can't wait to share the before and after of all the stuff I took outside and spray painted yesterday. I'm tickled pink with how it all turned out. I only have a few more things to paint today. I hope to have some pictures up by the middle of next week. I still need to finish painting their walls before I show the big reveal. Even then there are three major projects that I still need to finish before their room is completely done. I still need to paint the bookshelf, dressers, and bunk beds. Those will have to wait a little bit longer. In the mean time I think it looks a whole heck of a lot better than it did.
Well I'm off to put our closet back together now. Hugs to you all. Hope everyone is having an awesome weekend!

we've been working around the house too! can't wait to see the big reveal :)
oh, we're trying really hard right now to not become "that house" on our street! front currently looks like a dirt pit though and piles of stuff at the street (think cinderblocks and giant bushes!) to be taken by the town. it's coming along though.... feels like there is always something....
Yay for organization projects! We need a little organization around here, but we've been to busy with crafty "stuff" in lieu of the family summer sale ... hence, nobody being at the blog in ages. Can't wait to see the final photos of your new "house beautiful"!
You have been busy, busy, busy!! Can't wait to see the room makeover. :)
Organizing exhausts me! I'm so glad you're able to do it cheerfully!
I've written several children's books, actually, but no bites yet! I'm getting some submissions ready for a picture book and a middle grade book. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Would you want to read it to your girls and tell me what they think?
Wow! You sure have a lot going on:)
I can't wait to see the pictures!

hey girl!!
The processing on those top two pics are awesome! love the trike. cute cute.
I've been doing just about the same things. Lots of purging and cleaning. Reorganizing~this summer I am planning on painting some of my furniture. I can't wait until I get it all finished.
My hubby has been hauling things to the dump, too. Lots of yard debris and computer monitors, an old gazebo that a storm took down. It was all accumulating and had to go.
