I plan to do something that NEEDS to be done in the house. Mostly just small “improvements”, nothing major.  Last weekend I got a storage unit and cleaned out the garage.

Here’s a picture of the “final” outcome. I didn’t have a before but trust me it was BAAAAAD!!!

Also last week, we finally received two pieces that we’ve been waiting for. Xavier has been using Derrick’s old toy box. It was ok, but we put ALL his toys in there and when Xavier wanted a specific toy he would throw EVERYTHING out until he found it. This is what I would be left with -

And this is now… I decluttered all his toys to a few selections. Organized them in the new toy/book organizer and added a Xavier size table and chairs. The old toybox is now upstairs with some toys still in it.

For this past weekend I had planned to 1)clean out the car and truck 2)vacuum out both vehicles 3)strip all the double-sided tape from the truck 4)shred papers 5)laundry 6)straighten up Xavier’s room(how his room gets so messy, I’ll never know) and finally put the bed cover on Geno’s truck - well I succeeded in cleaning out the car and truck, vacuuming the car, stripping the tape off and some laundry.

Sunday night I started feeling a little sick. Monday I stopped in at my work to get some petty cash. We have a HUGE pot hole in our parking lot and since I was off yesterday it would be the perfect time to fill it.  The boys and I went to Home Depot and then back to work to fill the hole. Afterwards, I was so exhausted we went home and the rest of the day was spent on the couch watching TV. Turned out I had a fever of 99.8 so when Xavier went to bed we all went to bed.

The weekend wasn’t a complete success but it felt good to get done what I did, there is always next weekend!

Here are a few more random pictures:
