Great weekend project.

A couple of weeks ago our sump pump broke so we got water in our basement. (For all you people out west, here in Minnesota we have a sump pump in our basement to pump out the water that gets under our house. If you have a basement, you have a sump pump.) I realized I need to do better in our storage room so things don't get ruined when and if our basement floods again. Thursday I told Doug that our weekend project was going to be to put in shelves in our storage room. I have been wanting to do this since we moved in. Now I had a little motivation to get it done.

Storage room BEFORE...



Storage room AFTER...

We didn't finish until late last night, so I didn't get to organize everything yet. I know what I will be doing tomorrow...organizing my new and improved storage room. The organization natzie in me is so excited for my new project. On the other side of the room we are going to build another set of shelves for my food storage.
For those who know me well know how I love to organize things. When I was a small child I would never do the light bright. I would dump out all the little pieces, get a TV dinner tray and separate all the colors in each compartment. I know this is a STRANGE thing to do.
Anyway, I can't wait to have my storage room all organized!!

Valentine's Day

This year I would like to start some fun family traditions for Valentine's Day, but I'm not sure what to do. Does anyone have some ideas of fun things they do with their kids for Valentine's Day?

Happy Birthday Jacob!

Yesterday Jacob turned 3.He chose to go to Chuck E Cheese for his birthday. We had fun playing the games and eating pizza. Then we came home and had cake and opened presents. I think Jacob had a great 3rd birthday.
