Weekend Digest

I miss my husband. He has been at AFI Fest since Thursday but it feels as though I haven't seen him in weeks due to a pre-festival crunch. I am still plugging away at this week's list and have promised myself that I will be more realistic when I create a list for next week. Today we took down the Halloween decor and decorated for Thanksgiving.

George and Charlie made these cute turkey's to hang on the back door. George wanted to put eyebrows on his and after I hot glued them into place he was stressed because he said his turkey looked mad. Then he embellished his turkey with sequins, feathers and pom-poms to cheer the poor guy up. Speaking of poor guy...George missed out on story time tonight because he spit at me (we have had MAJOR problems with spitting this week).

On Monday morning we woke up to snow which motivated me to find a solution to the "Where do we store all our winter accessories?" problem and after three different trips to two stores we have a solution that I think will work. Simple cubbies with four bins...one for each of us.

I reorganized the boys' closets and now they only contain clothes that fit them and in Charlie's case, a couple of bins of clothes that he will be growing into this year. I also organized our coat closet and now it not only contains coats but also all of our kid craft, activity, and preschool supplies. Tonight I started on the laundry room cupboards but still have a ways to go. I am throwing away a ton of junk and have several bags of old clothes, shoes, and gadgets ready to take to the DI. Unfortunately, I have a really long way to go...My storage room is such a wreck I can't get in there to put away the Halloween decorations that I took down today and ended up leaving them piled by the door.
