Weekend here and there

So I always have a running list of things I want to do or accomplish and it is getting harder and harder to accomplish this.  So Rick and I had a discussion about taking 1 thing and doing it that weekend- that's it.  Take one thing from the list and work on it - now this is in between soccer, errands, family and friend time, etc.  We are not willing to give up all weekend just to work on list - we enjoy playing too much with J & H and hangin' with our family and friends.  I love it- be organized and marking things off my list!!!!!  We tried it out this weekend and look what we got done:

Laundry room-- aka Rick's laundry room-- add some shelves on top so I can put all my arts and crafts up there.  And for me to organize all of my arts and crafts where I can actually see and use them.  We do lots of random art projects for true art or math or reading and I need something organized like I have at school.  So this is what we did and I love it!  And so does Rick b/c he is getting his space back in his laundry room- win/win!

Kids playroom closet- Rick put in some more shelves for me to put more toys and such in there.  It looks like a lot and it is!  I have so much stuff that I have bought for my classrooms and since I switch (teach Reading one year, teach Math another year, teach Early childhood another year) every year I have a big variety of things.  And now some of it is stored where I can see and use it with J and H.  J loves the math games.  The top parts are with things J and H have to do with us - more educational things.  The bottom shelves are all their toys- which they can reach at any given moment and that I rotate quite often- including their books too!
