Halfway Point~ 10 in 10

Well, we're halfway through the 10 days, and I'm NOT halfway through my 10 tasks. I did manage to get a few things crossed off my list, though.

I cleaned out Tootsie's room and donated some of her large baby toys to a church nursery, so she has a lot more room to play now!

Next up was the chest in the living room that we use to hold library books. At least, that was its initial purpose. Over time, it's managed to collect not only books, but also papers, yarn/knitting projects, a half-complete braided rug, dog toys, and lots of books that were stashed in there instead of being put away. I didn't think to take a before pic, but I remembered when I had the contents sorted into piles on the floor and couch...

{and there are still some books inside!}

These are the only things in the chest now. On the left is a stack of library books. In the middle is my Bible. And on the right is a stack of homeschool curriculum we'll be using this year. (I still have to order a few more things so I can't cross that off the list yet.) This thing was packed full and very unorganized, so this is a huge improvement!

I also finally got the entry wall painted with chalkboard paint. This is the wall on your left as you enter the house through the garage. My plan is to use this wall for our memory verses, notes for homeschooling activities, and general doodling for kids of all ages. We'll also hang our world map here for our geography studies this year...

{I didn't even get to doodle yet, but I wanted to share a pic anyway}

It's going to be a busy week with soccer camp, golf camp, and some time at the pool. Hope I can pull this off!
