Operation Organization!

School officially starts here in one week! Yep, one week! And I am really not ready. In one short week our lives will once again be filled with crazy schedules of running here and going there. The lazy days of summer are quickly fading only to be replaced by a more strict schedule of buses, homework, gymnastics, church, bedtimes...well you get my point.

So in order to help combat some of the stress that comes along with the first week of school I have officially declared today Operation Organization! at our little hive. And the plan will look a little something like this...

clean out the girls closets (and ours too!)
organize and rearrange said closets to make them more useful for the kiddos

purchase lots of plastic bins to store old clothes and garage items

put together some shelving that has been sitting in our basement since we moved in 6 months ago

clean out old toys from the girls playroom and rearrange furniture in there to make it more of a playroom

(this may or may not involve a trip to Ikea... shhh don't tell my husband... he has a severe aversion to Ikea)
clean out the fridge and designate a space in the kitchen for making school lunches
possibly paint the girls toy chests in their bedrooms
paint the mirror hanging in Reese's bedroom

Lofty goals for one weekend?  Perhaps, but I am feeling ambitious and I say bring on the challenge.  I will be back on Monday to show you how we did.  Wish me luck!
