Just a little housekeeping

Andrea and I have been so busy!  Separately, we get nothing done but a little laundry and a few dishes.  But together, we can move mountains.  Sometimes the thought comes to me, 'She didn't come here, all the way from Louisiana, to help me re-organize my house.'  But when I try to suggest something else, she says she's having fun, so we keep at it.  

We have hung shelves in the living room for decoration:

Shelves in the laundry room for function:

And worked on an art project for my living room because the wall looked so bare:

We even got the fireplace cleaned off, so that if I wanted to, I could enjoy a nice fire (which will never happen.):

It's really nice to have a super organized house.  I always get plans and ideas but never have the drive to carry them out.  The kids always distract me, or the project seems too big to tackle alone.  While Andrea is here, we get an idea and work on it and while we're trying to finish that end up doing 90 other things.

So, if you ever need to clean out your house, ever need to re-organize a closet, invite a good friend over to help you do it.  Having someone to laugh with can make even the most disgusting task (we're changing out a toilet later on tonight) seem like a lot of fun.
