Spring Cleaning!

After recovering from Spring Break comes Spring Cleaning.  I found great lists on this website:  http://housekeeping.about.com/cs/cleaning101/a/springclnngguid.htm

Monday  I spent in the kitchen/dining room,  Tuesday we ran errands, Wednesday was living/playrooms, Thursday was Bathrooms, Friday was bedrooms.  You'll notice that Wed & Friday were rooms that I needed to go through Carter's accumulations and he was in school.  He inherited my packrat gene.  Luckily he also inherited Paul's not noticing things gene, so he hasn't noticed things are gone!  I ended up getting a little off track due to a horrible cold/sinus thing that made me feel like my feet weighed 400 pounds each!

We also switched bedrooms around while I was doing bedrooms.  Now Carter's room is the new baby's room, but that's where Henri's sleeping since it has the crib in it.  Carter's bed, the toddler bed and two dressers are in what was Henri's room, which I had painted grey last year, which will go well with the Cars/Lightening McQueen theme Carter wants.  so the Curious George stuff is moving out.  Don't know what I'm doing with baby's room yet, but there may be paint involved.  We've lived here almost 6 years now and that room was the first one to be painted and it is starting to show! 

Carter's very excited about sharing a room with Henri as well as a new baby coming.  However, he is having to learn to pick up his toys in his bedroom more often, especially the legos that are living in there due to the fact that there is much less space in there, now!  It feels crowded to me, but apparently I'm the only one, so I think as long as it's all picked up it will be fine.  Plus, when we bought the house we figured the small bedrooms were ok since there was an extra living area (now the playroom).

Anyways, that's what we've been up to.  Decorating the bedrooms will probably be the next project, so there will be some more pictures coming up.  For the rest of the week, though, I'm resting!

Today (Wednesday) I'm getting together with my dear friend Faith who I haven't seen in YEARS and found via FaceBook was working at the hospital just down the street!

Tomorrow I'm babysitting two girls, then Friday is coffee with my MOPs table at a toddler friendly coffee house and a massage, which I desperately need after the week of spring cleaning!
