Around the house

I took the weekend off from taking too many pictures.  I'm not going to point any fingers, but it may have been due to a small tow headed prince who was super fussy and not sleeping.  Maaaaay have been.  The good news is that I am in super-power-ranger-cleaning out phase.  And no, there is no monkey or prince want to be hiding in the belly.  If that were the case, I wouldn't be nesting.  I'd be hopping a plane for Africa.  Anyhoo, back to the task(s) at hand.  Sorry for the lack of before pictures but seeing as all my genius work is performed on a whim, this was no different.  Picture me walking by a room (usually on my way to do a different, more pressing task), stopping in my tracks, exclaiming 'I can't handle this anymore!  Too much crap!  Where did all this crap come from?  Who needs this many ______ (fill in the blank - toys, bags, shoes, diapers for newborns without there being any newborns...you get the picture).  So I have bags and bags of stuff that will be going to people who need these things.  Who don't have clothes for interviews, don't have the means to purchase toys, who need baby supplies.  I apologize for the serious rant and will get back to funny now.

The wasn't hardly set foot in formal playroom (that there is a joke.  We call it that because technically it's a super small formal dining.  The dining in the kitchen is a HUGE open space that can accommodate our 10 person table no sweat.  This dining space may tightly fit four or six.  Am I the only one this doesn't make sense to?!?)  It used to have a kids table in the middle and tons of toys on the shelves.  Moved in some chairs that weren't really working in the tv room, cleared the middle space and organized everything in baskets.  Well, everything that was left after the clear out that is.  There is still a little more to do but 100% improvement already.

 I found this a short while later.  It's amazing how much this room is used now.  They know where everything is and like having the floor to play and the chairs to sit in.  Obs.

On a separate note, this is what you don't want to happen when things get delivered.  Note to all delivery drivers out there: DO NOT open pallets with knives.  They cut things.  And then I have to deal with horrible customer service to have your stupidity remedied.  (Note note: I do not think the delivery guy was stupid.  His act was stupid.  Although common sense would have said not to use a knife.  Note of note of note: common sense does not equal brain smarts).
