Day One - Kid's Rooms Done!!

This morning at 10 a.m. the cleaning began here in the Wessel house.

Emily was on her own. Her room tends to be very clean and organized already so little supervision is needed. Matt, on the other hand, needs my assistance to stay focused and actually make decisions on what to keep, donate and trash.  

As you can see, things always get worse before they get better. We were able to get through all Matt's toys and books. The only thing left to do with both kids is to go through their clothes and see what is needed for the upcoming season.

Here are a few pictures of what we accomplished today.

It is so nice to have their rooms so clean. Tomorrow we are headed to the basement to tackle the toys, DVD's and Wii games.
Oh and we continued our tradition of "milkshake Monday" taking a break around noon. Of course, our little outing also provided me with a much needed cup of coffee.

Day one of spring cleaning was very successful.  Just hoping the kids keep their cleaning momentum for at least one more day.  Hoping to get in some outdoor work this week too. Tune in tomorrow to see what new tasks we accomplished.
