I LOVE spending Christmas break with my kids. It is one of my most favorite times to spend with them. It probably is not one of their favorites, as I try to get them to spend some of the time cleaning. This break is no exception, but one that I hope to get a lot of things done.
With 4 boys, we have A LOT of stuff. So much that my kids have lost the appreciation for the things that they have. We have spent the last year trying to get rid of things. We donated over $500 worth of toys already this year and we have more to go. Today we tackled the basement.
We have lived in our house for 6 years now and during that 6 years the basement has undergone various stages. My husband, Super Handsome and I tried to make it an adult area with a pool table and big TV. That failed because the kids continually trashed it and the space that they were given to use. So, we have given lots and lots and lots of things away... or at least tried to, some of it is still in the garage and needs to go yet this year.
The basement is again better condition, later this week when Super Handsome is home, we will spend some more time moving furniture around to try and make a possible work out room for our two pieces of exercise equipment. Most of the toys that the boys used to trash the basement are now history. It is just the games and puzzles that now worry me.
Now, to take the stuff that is in the garage and basement and take it to the Salvation Army of Goodwill to complete our tasks!
