Today is the third day of straight rain here in Palm Coast. Derek and Aubrey caused me to have this morning to be cleaning out morning. Last night just before bed, Aubrey made this mess in her room. I believe Ethan started it, but I could not really get any straight answers. Regardless, every single toy from her baskets were dumped out onto her floor. It was too big of a task to tackle right before bed, so I left it until this morning. Instead of just throwing things back in, I actually sorted and matched up the correct toys and threw out a bunch that she no longer played with. It took 2 hours to complete and I wonder how long it will be before it is destroyed again. Do I really think a 3 year old will keep all her My Little Ponies in one basket, all her play food in one, etc? Wishful thinking though....
The finished product!
Look at all those nicely organized baskets. I think she is already messing them up as I type!
The spot in our cabinet where we keep our medicine has been needing some attention for some time. It was in the state where you open it and things just fall out, but we just throw them back up and shut the door and pretend it does not need help. Well, Derek was obviously looking for something while I took Ethan to school, because everything was pulled out onto the kitchen counter. So, another opportunity to clean out. Everything that was expired went into the trash. I still had some teething lotion for Aubrey that expired in 07! I also think I had about 10 of those little droppers for the kids that you get with medicine. Those all went into the trash as well. This project did not take nearly as long and I wonder why I did not do it sooner.
The finished product...so much nicer! Now, the cabinets under our bathroom sink need attention, but I think I have been productive enough for one rainy day. Time to exercise and get some VBS stuff done.

We're totally right there with you on the medicine cabinet! I have been saying for weeks that I need to organize it AGAIN! It's one of the many things on the list . . .
