Spring Cleaning. . . Whether I want to or not!

So, I've never been much of a Spring Cleaner. I remember doing it ever year at our house, and especially my Grammie's when I was younger. In fact, I think she would usually make me do it all by myself, while she did other things. But, I still love her for it! Anyways, this summer we have a fun house guest. My sister, Whitney, decided to brave the big city, and spend the summer working and living in the Evergreen state with us. I'm so excited for her to be here, and know that we will have many great adventures together. However, this meant that our playroom/office had to be emptied out to make a room for her. I was procrastinating this for awhile, and actually hadn't done anything before I left for our trip. This meant that Jake had to do it. I'm sure you are all thinking, "Well, that's okay, less work for you, huh!" But, that's not the case. My dear husband is many things, but he has never been the best cleaner. He is very good at moving things around, but really finding places for things, and deep cleaning, he leaves to me. The kids' rooms were piled high with boxes and bags of toys that were previously kept upstairs. In fact, you could barely open Taylee's door. After trying to ignore it for a few days, I decided it was finally time to tackle this job. And, what a job it has been! I once again realized that my kids have way too many things. (I blame it all on their Grandma. She spoils them rotten!) Let's just say that the next group of youngsters to step into the nearest Salvation Army will be in heaven! Next, I need to tackle the paperwork. Wish me luck!!
