The Well Planned Home....eventually;)

It's that time of year again... clean sweep time.  I know that most everyone seems to spring clean, but for me, autumn is the time of year I seem to nest.  After years of wondering why, my conclusion is that, like in every aspect of my life, I tend to do things backwards:)  Actually, I think it's because my family and I tuck in for the cold weather season and consequently I want a clutter-free home.

I've been cleaning out the two little girls room; cleaning out the out-grown shoes, boots, clothes, and pjs, and having Gracie organize all her baby stuff.  This week I'm targeting the dreaded playroom.  Half the toys in that room never get played with, they just get scattered around the floor and forgotten.  I'm meeting some serious resistence and there seems to be an opposition force rallying together to battle against my take over plan.  Rest assured, this battle weary mom still has some tricks up her sleeve and if need be will strike while the opposition forces are sleeping:)  I've also enlisted a very capable force of my own to help me wage this war... Grandma.  The marching orders have been posted, the troops may be dragging their feet, but this war will be won:)  Then, when we have taken back our home and claimed it back from the messies, we can tuck in, relax and enjoy being snowed in while enjoying games, movies, puzzles, art, and all the cold weather fun together as a family without worrying about the closet doors busting open from the excess stuffed within:)

Oh, and one more thing... just in case the opposition forces think that the garage isn't within the battle plan.  WRONG!  That is the next battle field, scheduled for this next weekend I hope;)
