The Great Clean-out

I will make this short, and not bore you with pictures... but Sept turned into a clean-out frenzy at our house. It started when we wanted to put Evan in his new room. Well, we had to find somewhere for all the stuff in the guest room to go. So, we had to start cleaning out other areas of the house to accommodate the stuff. After that, we worked on getting Molly's room cleaned out (it had become the staging area for all the stuff we did not know what to do with) and from there, we moved to our room, the living room, kitchen, office, garage & even the attic. It was quite the task & pretty much consumed our lives for about 3 weeks or so. However, I am happy to report that all is where it should be & I have been able to be more the housekeeper than I have ever been. It is quite a relief. We are still working on a couple of last projects around the house- cleaning out the garage again after we emptied Lisa's house & we are sprucing up our bedroom to make it a little more like a place of rest. But, those are minor compared to what we got done. So we feel much better now & nesting is not really on my agenda any more. :)
