productive days...

So, those of you that have been to our house know that our garage is well...um..a little...well..a lot messy. And although we try our hardest to organize and reorganize and clean and throw things away, it seems that the garage is the one area that is always left out when we do major cleaning spree's a few times a year.

That has all changed..well, I hope it has. We have made a huge effort today and while Dave is out with Madeline restocking our big black trash bags, I thought I would share. How do we accumulate so much stuff???? I mean, seriously, where does it all come from?

Oh and then there are the potatoes. It seems that when I grocery shop, there are a few things that I always think we need...1. butter 2. pasta and 3. potatoes. I buy new potatoes despite the fact that there are perfectly good potatoes in the garage (dark cool area..good for potato storage). And then, when something smells like it curled up and died in the garage, I get tasked with the o' so fun task of cleaning up the potato funk mess. Honestly folks, i don't know how Dave lives with me sometimes.

So, potato funk cleaned up, garage smelling like daisies again and a whole heap of trash later..here I am at the computer with a glass of water and a free minute.

Oh, looks like the oldest and youngest member of this Engel clan are back...time to go back to the garage. Wish me luck!!
