I know you're thinking ENERGIZER BUNNY but alas, its my huge spring clean up! Actually its my life. I've gotten so much done in the last week and I really think it's weird that something as simple as writing about my tasks is keeping me motivated - but it is.. so I will not complain!
I don't have pictures for this post but I want to report on my progress so far. Saturday I went on a girls camp prehike up Lone Mountain. It was fun and hot and actually more strenuous than I thought it would be. When we got to the top of the mountain the wind was blowing. It felt good but I was excited to turn around, drive home and start cleaning out my garage (because I'm from Ireland you have to pronounce "garage" with a long "a".... "GAAArage" to get the full effect of that last sentence!
By the time I picked up the kids and got home it was already noon. Not the best time to start cleaning the garage I know, but I went ahead anyway. We're having a community garage sale next Saturday so that is also motivating me to clear out and get rid of things. Nothing better than making a few bucks off your junk!
I've been pulling the kids rooms apart bit by bit this last week so they are basically down to just their beds. I've decided on paint for the girls room.
BLACK, HOT PINK & WHITE (polka dot accents).

I'm super excited to pull it all together.
The boys room feels harder. I did find awesome BOOK OF MORMON HERO posters on a cool website so I think we'll do something very BOYISH for them. Also scored with two dragon quilts for $15 a piece at trusty 'ole walmart.
It's so weird how we change over time. Years ago I would not have been able to take the pace I'm taking with this project. I would've wanted to get everything bought, done and in place in a week. I'm so glad that I realize that I am not superwoman and that "these things take time". It's actually more enjoyable doing it line upon line. It's also pretty impossible with the crazy schedule we keep and my church calling.
So that's about it. I've bought and sold some stuff on craigslist. Got some great deals and promised Sam that I will only meet people at gas stations from now on *smile*
This week I'm hoping to finish prepping for the yard sale and maybe get the girls paint started in their bedroom. Wish me luck!
