Spring Cleaning

I don't know if it's nesting or what, but the spring cleaning bug has bit me. It started with reorganizing our clothes and cleaning the windows (which I still haven't finished b/c of the rain), and is spreading to every inch of the house. Last week I cleaned out Hayden's toys, and this past Monday Dave and I cleaned out and reorganized the garage. I really meant to take a "before" picture, but I forgot until we were already in the middle of everything. We put up shelving and finally got our Christmas tree off of the garage floor and moved some things around to give us more space. We still have a pile of things that go to our church's yard sale on Friday, and a couple of pieces of furniture that belong to my in-laws. We were pleased with our hard work all the same. There still isn't enough room for Dave to park the Expedition in there with my car, but at least we have walking space in there now! While we were doing all of that, Hayden was enjoying riding his bicycle and playing with the whole garbage sack full of toys that we found. My cousin gave us those toys back in November and I completely forgot about the sack that we found!

We are also planning on getting a fence and a swingset, both of which are for Hayden. And at least an umbrella for the back patio, which is for us to have some shade. We would like to have an arbor or some sort of canopy over our back door and windows eventually, but that will not happen this year. So much to do, and so little time to do it! Last but not least, we got a new light fixture for our front porch. Isn't home improvement fun?
