The CLOSET under the stairs! OOOOOOOOOH

It's been haunting us for a while.
Others, who shall remain nameless, were doing it!
The challenge was there!
Could it be accomplished????
Should it?
Would it?
YES
That freaky, messy, cluttered catch-all.
That place where things go to hide and never be seen again.
The CLOSET under the stairs!
Jim and I were both off work today.
We agreed to tackle the job.
Blankets, quilts, shelves, mirrors, pillows,
sleeping bags, a cot, a wig, hula skirts, photo albums,
Mom's books, gift bags, tissue paper, ribbon, boxes,
wreaths, framed pictures, the spare leaf for our table
and lots of toys for the grandsons!
So we sorted,
combined,
trashed,
condensed into new bins,
moved out to the garage,
donated,
and gave away
STUFF.
Then we vacuumed.
And bought some new big boy toys!
Now it's done
and we'll have the boys over tomorrow
to test the new toys out!
Hopefully, that closet will stay clean now!
(BUT I DOUBT IT!)

I was just thinking that we need pictures. I Highly doubt that it will stay clean, mine stays clean for about 3 days, that is because the first 2 days they don't know it is clean:P

It survived the grandsons tonight! We'll see how long it lasts. ;)
