We're getting organized!!! :)

Over the past couple weeks Nate and I have been organizing our house...and boy does it feel good!!! For all of you who know me, I am just not the organizing type. ;) ...but with Nate and help from Lexi, I think we got it figured out. Crafts in one area, puzzles/games in another, toys all separated into bins, etc., etc., etc. I LOVE IT!!! It's been so easy to pull out something specific to play with and so easy to put things away at the end of the day. ...now if I could just find the time to finish going through my 'sort through' piles and have a yard sale to get rid of all the stuff we weeded out! ;)

In the midst of organizing we moved the girls into the same room and redid the play room (thanks Lexi!!!).

The girls asleep the first night they roomed together. :)
The 'kind of' before picture of the play room. (we had already started the process)
The finished products! :)

1st - Alyssa's closet (toys, sweaters, jackets, swimsuits, sleeping bags, etc.)
2nd - The Playroom/School-craft room
Lexi helped make sense of the room by creating different areas. She's so good!

This is the craft & school area
This is the reading area
This is the imaginative play area (kitchen, baby stuff, dress-up, etc.)

Being organized is definetly one of favourite things. Looks wonderful! Way to go (for someone who feels that they are unorganized, the rooms look amazing!)

Good job! I am sure it was a lot of work, but I bet it feels so good. I love to be organized...just not very good at it!

It is such a big undertaking to put the kids in the same room. Glad you made it through!

Great job. I am so not the organizational type either, but I sure do appreciate it. Thanks for the motivation to get up and straighten up my house. We are really so much more relaxed and happy when we do this...
