Mission Organization

Since we have moved into this house (going on 3 years now), we have wanted to organize our bonus/guest/office/play room. It is so hard when you have such a large multi-purpose room to make it fit all your needs. We finally took a large chunk (meaning all) of our Saturday to accomplish this task.

Ben had found these cube storage systems awhile back but I wasn't crazy about the idea when he was first talking about it. I must admit that they turned out great though! Throw in some new drapes to match the (new....as in March or April) futon and Voila!

We have several "toyboxs" and storage for the toys but it just wasn't working like we wanted. This has been awesome so far!
Just another view and the beautiful toybox that Ben had built for the kids a few months back.

We have this beauty of a desk that Ben also built but it was always a mess and hiding under stuff. Here it is the most organized that it has been since we moved here.

Ben cleaned it up so that I don't have Isaac crawling under the desk and pulling all of the wires for the computer. He screwed the surge protectors to the underside of the desk and it is so nice having almost all of them hidden!

Our "new" computer also a March/April purchase finally nicely organized!

WHEW! We still have a few more problem areas but this is by FAR 100% better for us and functioning in here as a family!

All work, no play

Sunday started a major organization project for me in our bonus room. I have so many scrapbooking ideas but not enough time, energy, or let's face it my own space to do it. I decided that I wanted to at least organize all the stuff that I have so that if I do get any opportunity to do the scrapbooking that I will have it easier at hand. (Mind you I just started and it is not finished yet so.....)
I worked on Monday and today. It has been really hectic at the clinic & I am trying to help while I can. To put it mildly, these back to back work days have really taken their toll on me. I have loved catching up with the patients but my body has had it. I think that the next day or two will include Kendall and I taking it easy.
I made my first brisket last night. (I must say that today the leftovers tasted better than the actual dish last night.) It was pretty good but not nearly as good as the one that Natalie made for us :-) I also made us turkey vegetable chili on Sunday which reminded me of when Arinn first made it. So yummy!
Kendall is exerting her little personality so much the past few days. It is really amazing at what a little person/adult she has become. Her opinion is definately made known with a flair now. We found out that among all of the other fruit that she loves, black berries seem to be a favorite. Kendall is also a very big dill pickel eater. (Meaning seriously I need to go to Sam's Club and stock up for her!) She had a great time tonight helping Ben clean and cut the potatoes for our ham, green beans, and potato stew.
I am so very glad that Benny is here right now and will be until the delivery. I don't know what I would do without him as I am beginning to feel really miserable as the end is in sight! Please keep us in your prayers.
