Growing Up

For Christmas, Emily asked for a lot of things to redo her room. She went from Disney Princesses to Hello Kitty to owls and now it's boys.  What?  I guess at 13, it was bound to happen.  Company was gone, Christmas was put away and I had some time, so we got to work. She didn't want any games on her bookshelves anymore.  She still had Candy Land in there, so I get it. She still likes games, she just wanted to put them in Noah's room. So, we did. 

It was an all day affair. We got 4 bags to donate and 2 garbage bags full of trash.  I should've taken a before.  But, here's the during.

 

We got her a new desk too. Now, she needs things to fill up her bookcase. Here's the after. Waaaaa...it looks like a grown up room. 

  

Yesterday was the last day of break.  So, we went swimming. The pool is heated to a cozy 80ish degrees. And it was like 65 outside, so it was nice. I just went in the hot tub though.

 

Then, this morning was just brutal.  Brutal. 6:15 came way too early, and I was not happy.  But, I had a gorgeous sunrise to kind of encourage me.  Oh, alright...things aren't that bad!  

 

 I'm on a major cleaning spree and so many to do things around here.  I'm going to start plugging away and getting things done little by little.  Here's to a more organized and less cluttered 2018!
