Operation Organization

This past weekend Lukas got to go down to Houston to visit Mema and Grandad, while we tore into part of our organization problem (as well as had some "down" time).

Lukas' consisted of splashing in the pool, a trip to the fountains, the park, and lots of other cool stuff that only Mema and Grandad can provide.

















Our weekend consisted of a huge shopping day to buy what we needed to organize, painting and staining, sorting, and a couple of relaxing dates. The highlight of the weekend was a trip to The Melting Pot for some fantastic fondue to celebrate my birthday.

Our main project was Lukas' room. We painted and installed shelves, sorted toys, and built a tool bench.

The awesome toolbench we made. He LOVES this thing. I think he's been building since he got back home.



We got these wall decals at Target. They're awesome except for they are barely sticking to our textured walls. I think we're going to have to mount them somehow so they stick for years and not weeks.



We also bought new barstools for our living room, a new coffee table, and have plans (once we find what we want) for a shelving unit in the entry way to organize our shoes, bags and mail. I'm loving the organization so far, and so now the goal is to keep it up!
