Whistle While You Work

Today Lexi decided to take advantage of the fact that she is one of two kids left at home now. Her bedroom is pretty small and she was ready for something new (and bigger). So, rather than taking over mine or Sam's room, (which I was completely opposed to) she decided to convert the playroom in to her bedroom. The playroom is a pretty large room that we spent a lot of time in as kids...well....playing. In recent years, however, it has kind of become wasted space. Up until today, it was still fully equipped for playing barbies, polly pockets, dolls, school, house, ninja turtles, legos, dress-up, and anything else your imagination can come up with. Now all of that stuff, and lots of other random junk, has been shoved into Lexi's old bedroom. Her bed, dresser, clothes, etc are now in a giant room complete with foosball table, TV, and computer. Spoiled? I think yes. So, today mostly consisted of cleaning out, organizing, and moving. I also did some of that of my own. I organized my closet into what is coming to Virginia with me in a couple of weeks, and what is staying here. It seems silly to leave half a wardrobe in a closet in Idaho, but really, you try and shove everything you own in one suitcase under 50 pounds. Thought so. Cleaning out my closet also led to me putting on my prom dress and dancing around in it for a while. Who doesn't want to put on a pretty princess dress for no reason once in a while? I just couldn't resist. I wish I could wear that thing more often without being judged. It's a little fun. Sometimes I love clean-out days like today. It's fun all of the stuff that you can find that you had forgotten about. We also did some good reminiscing about all of the fun times that we have had in that playroom. On another happy note, Lexi taught me how to get music onto my itunes without paying for it. She swears it's legal. I don't necessarily believe that, but I'm not going to stress about that minor detail because this is pretty much the most exciting thing of my life!

Example of the fun I have when I have to clean rooms out :)
