The Garage of Dust and Doom
I really want to post a picture of this dark dreary place, but I’m sorta guessing Mike might want to kill me afterward. LOL It’s pretty bad. Actually, now it’s LESS bad. But that’s my doing too.
I was out in the garage earlier hunting for something (I so cannot even remember what) and I moved something onto a dresser. I stood there staring at the dresser thinking, “Wouldn’t this be better in one of the kids rooms?” So I look at the other dresser (yes there are two) and I think - yep. I know it will make their rooms a bit more crowded but at least they’d have their own dressers. We have two girls per bedroom upstairs and my son’s room is in the basement. We want to build more rooms downstairs but until that happens, the girls all share. So now, they have two dressers in each bedroom so each child has their very own. They are actually pretty happy.
I also made Mike put together our oldest daughter’s bunk bed set. It is one of those lofty looking ones with the desk and all the shelves and drawers. It’s beautiful, but they have been using a trundle like bed and the one bed is NEVER pushed back under. This way the bed doesn’t have to be pushed back under and while the room is definitely full - they can spread out more on their own beds and they have places to put all the things little girls need. (don’t ask me what that is).
So now our garage has this huge area with nothing in it. That’s actually awesome. So - I’ll be working on the basement probably tomorrow and Tuesday to see what I can get done. Ever heard of freecycle? Check back tomorrow and I’ll explain more.
