Boxes and Bathrooms

I bet you thought this was a new store like Bed Bath & Beyond! Nope!

Last night after the kids went to bed, Tim and I unpacked the bathrooms. Tim sat there talking to me, and I sorted everything out. I found all 567 or so of Chloie's ponytail thingies, the brushes I've been looking for since we moved in, all of Tim's cologne and my perfume, and I lost count of all the lotion we have. Yikes! It takes up the entire bottom drawer of the bathroom cabinet! I need to really start using it more often.

It's nice, however, to see empty floor in our bedroom (where the 5 boxes and 3 bags of stuff once stood). We're going to tackle all of my crafty stuff next. This Saturday after I deliver the Skateboarder Birthday Cake and go grocery shopping should do nicely. Believe it or not, once all of those boxes are done, that'll clear out the boys' closet, the rest of Chloie's room, and most of the "quiet room" as the kids call it or about 75% of the remaining boxes. I might have to invest in some cabinets or something.

Our next agenda is the kids' toys. We're going to sort through them for age appropriate things. No matter how cute, I don't think they will want to play with the stacking ring toy any more. That should thin down the mass down stairs. Anyone know someone that might need these toys? They're free!

Tim tried to make deer burgers last night. I can't say it was an overwhelming success. They tasted good, Audie and Chloie really liked them, as did I, but our of 10 we ended up with 4 1/2. They kept falling apart on the grill. I think I have a solution for that, but we'll have to try it out later. I will tell you that the fillet mignon we made from the tenderloin turned out exceptionally well. Audie even devoured one.
