Organizing & Purging

After a busy morning at the acquarium, both kids crashed and napped for 3 hours....yes, at the same time.  For 3 hours!  This is unheard of in my house.  So, I took advantage of this time to work on organizing and purging the black hole called our office in the basement.  Well, I did take some time to make cinnamon walnut scones and drink some hot tea before diving into the mess downstairs.

Since we moved into our new place mid-December, the office has been full of boxes, bikes, toys and other miscellaneous items, including my Uppercase Living supplies.  I'm on a mission to dig out the UL supplies since I have two open houses booked in March and I am going to need them soon.  What I found out is that majority of the stuff in the office falls into one of two categories....(1)  crap that we should have gotten rid of a long time ago or (2) crap from his childhood that Tom's parents have given us. 

I admit, I didnt make as much progress as I wanted to, but the pile of crap for the garbage is pretty high, so once that's gone, I may be able to see light in there.  I also ran to Target to get shelves to bring some organization into the room.  Hopefully, I'll be able to do that during naptime tomorrow. 

Now, if you are still reading this boring post, I thank you.  And, I'll show you what I'm really glad that I found just in time for Easter....my kid's Easter buckets (sorry for the poor cell phone pic)!
