the past two days have been in the mid to high 70s, sunny skies, and just plain gorgeous. adam is even addicted to the sunshine. he's fussy until we step outside and then all he wants to do is swing, walk, romp, play with grass/dirt and definitely NOT go inside.
there is so much to do in our yard it's amazing we'll even be indoors this summer at all...but i sense a pattern here. weather is gorgeous=less blogging from me.
i'm going to try to fight the urge to NOT blog because i love doing it, but the great outdoors calls loudly when it's warm, especially when you have three boys who love running and climbing and hanging in the garage (man-garage/tool shed/tractor storage) with their dad. even adam loves the garage.
BUT...i saw a challenge over at
OrgJunkie's blog (the blog that hosts menu planning monday) that i need to be a part of. It's a 30-day organizing challenge, and have we got the perfect two rooms for the challenge. I can't wait to get started...especially since it's now going to be in the 30s and SNOW for the next week or more (i'm trying hard to ignore that).
our office and enclosed backporch are the highest traffic area of the house. the office has the desktop computer, built-in shelves, and all our files. the playroom has all the toys (the ones that aren't in the boys' room). we don't have a ton of toys because we like to go through them a few times a year and give away some, put some away for the baby, etc. but the disorganization of the rooms make it seem like we have a paper problem in the office, and too many toys for our fairly large enclosed back porch/playroom.
my challenge is to organize frugally. i want to "install" organization systems that aren't going to cost me much at all, and that the boys can help me put into place. afterall, the playroom is theirs.
my dream is to replace the paneling in the office (it's much too dark in there!) and make new window valances for the porch windows.
