High Hopes

It's just before bedtime on Sunday and my "To Do" list isn't finished.  It's actually not a big surprise because there were some big ticket items on there like the closet stuff.  I didn't finish all the laundry but I did end up doing 5 loads (washed, dried, folded, and put away) today.  There are 3 loads left to do but I know that I'm not going to end up finishing it today.

The weekend wasn't a waste because even though I didn't finish everything on my "To Do" list, we picked up paint for the boys' room; visited one of our favorite stores, American Science and Surplus; had lunch at Superdawg; and went to the park.

We went to the park to fly a kite and play in the playground.  I'm surprised that either boy had any energy since we went right after Nick's make up swim class.  They boys even took a descent nap although they just woke up a few minutes ago and will probably not go back to bed any time soon.

So what else did I get done on my "To Do" list?

• Take apart the crib in the guest room
• Make a coat closet out of the closet in the basement
• Put away the coat boxes in the boys' room
• Pick up the master bedroom
• Do the laundry (wash, fold, put away) - we have a nasty habit of not folding and putting them away I think 5 out of 8 loads complete is cause to cross this off my list.
• Clean off the kitchen island
• Clear out any empty boxes in our living room
• Get the boys' hair cut

In the end, it was a nice and productive weekend!

We moved at the end of February and I still have many unpacked boxes. I am lazy and I figure if I'm not really missing it how much can I need it.

I have through the glorious web site www.etsy.com decorated my family room into a beach themed room. Shower curtains for regular curtains at all. I feel most at home in this room. I forgot how long it takes to get used to a new place.

My boys are now older teens but we moved several times when they were infants and/or toddlers. You have my empathy.

Have a great week!!!
