hooray for the weekend

It has been a long week.

Monday and Tuesday I felt pretty crummy.

There wasn't much getting done around here.

Wednesday I felt so much better and then BOOM,

Wednesday night Levi decided it was his turn to be sick.

He was up all night which meant nobody slept very good.

Thursday was a long day with a very sad, sick baby.

We went to the doctor and thankfully it is just a really bad cold.

We are back to breathing treatments because he was starting to wheeze again.

There hasn't been much happening around here,

or many pictures being taken,

or much sleeping for that matter.

But each day I think we are getting a little better.

Which is why we are so glad it is the weekend.

Part of my "be intentional" goal this year involves organization.

I am not an organized person.

I wish I was...my sister is extremely organized.

But I don't think I I was blessed with that gene.

At the beginning of the year I started reading Organized Simplicity.

It is such a good book.

Just what an unorganized mama like me needs.

But it is overwhelming too.

So, when I saw Project Simplify over at Simple Mom I was excited.

She is focusing on one hotspot in your house each week for five weeks.

That seemed much more doable to me.

This week I was planning on joining her and tackling my closets.

Then we all got sick instead.

So, I started my closet project yesterday when Levi finally fell asleep.

Nothing like starting a huge project on Friday, right?

We have two little closets besides Levi's closet.

One in our bedroom and one in the guest room/craft room.

I love old houses except for the lack of closet space.

And if you are already unorganized it is an even bigger problem.

What you can't see is that the closets overflow into the rest of the rooms. :)

I made some major progress yesterday.

Joel's closet is done.

Shelves wiped off, vacuumed and everything.

And it feels so nice.

I have to finish my closet today and then start on Levi's.

I may have to finish next week, but at least it is getting done.

I even have a friend doing this along with me.

When you are unorganized you need accountability,

otherwise I would probably give up!!

When Levi woke up from his nap we snuck the sick boy outside for some fresh air.

It was beautiful yesterday afternoon.

As he was walking around the yard he noticed his swing.

He wanted to swing so badly but it was all tangled up in the tree.

We tried and tried to get it down...he was getting so frustrated with me.

But then dad came home and rescued the tangled swing.

And Levi was so happy.

He loves to swing.

I have to go tackle my closet now...while Levi is asleep.

He is not much help with the whole organizing thing. :)

Hope you have a good weekend.

I have some great giveaways lined up for the rest of March.

And some fun news to share with you next week.

I know it has been quiet around here, but keep checking back!
