How big was our house?

Or how messy?

We decided to do a BIG purge on the boys bedrooms. J has out grown a LOT of his toys and C need to pass down some things to J.

I like to give them the option of what goes.

J really got into the clean out. He kept saying that he was making room for Christmas presents!

After 6 large trash bags and a 3 foot stack of games and puzzles; we were finished with the toys. The boy decided he was too old for playdoh, only needed 17,000 Match box cars and was over dinosaurs. I think I shed a few tears carrying the bags from his room, he is my baby. But a happy dance soon followed, because everything is SO clean!

We are just getting to the clothes. Thank goodness for my nephews. We sent 4 large bags of hand-me-downs to them yesterday. Is it wrong that I don't send the really nice items to my nephew between C and J? I always feel like I don't get the good stuff back or its totally worn out. He is so rough on clothes.

The boys think we "need to have a yard sale and make some cash". I think NOT. A nice drive by at Good Will is in Paint boy's future.

ETA- I got inspired and cleaned out my closet again! 2 more trash bags of clothes to donate. All of it Fall and Winter. I figured if I don't want to wear it 5 months after the last opportunity, I am not going to want to wear it. More chances to buy new clothes!

My new plan

Over at Ashley's Closet, she has created here new life plan to keep herself clean and organized. I can't do things every day, because of the clients that just "have to have their hair done." Don't they understand I have shopping and blogging to do? I digress...
I have decided that I am going to call the Lawyer's Wife every Monday morning. This morning just while chatting on the phone I swept my downstairs and dusted everything. I mean I had the Pledge Clean and Dust spray and the Swiffer duster and CLEANED! I didn't even feel that bad about doing it, because that Lawyer's Wife is funny. No matter how bad we might feel she can make me laugh. So girl friend get ready for our Monday therapy session. If you flake on me my house is going to be dirty and its all Consuelo's fault, Maria isn't taking the fall on this one.
