Spring Cleaning Pt 2

At the rate I'm going, my spring cleaning week is

going to turn into spring cleaning two weeks.

Gah!

It's so much more difficult to deep clean with 3 little

busy bodies running around craving your attention.

My goal today was the kid's rooms. All three of them.

I got 1/3 completely done. The other 2 I probably got 1/4 done.

I don't know what that is in math language,

but I know it doesn't equal 100%     >:(

One insanely fussy baby and one crayon mural over my

entire dining room floor and I decided I was done for the day.

Instead of feeling frustrated about what I didn't do,

I need to pat myself on the back for what I did get done.

It's better than nothing.

So aside from routine cleaning, here's what else I like

to accomplish when spring cleaning the bedrooms...

Kid's Bedrooms

Empty all drawers and clean out clothes that no longer

fit, are old, or beat up.

Reorganize clothes back to where they need to go.

Replace pillows.

Shampoo mattress.

Shampoo carpets.

Clean windows, inside and out, including tracks.

Clean out toys, toss/sell/donate/reorganize.

Replace batteries in toys that need it.

Wipe down walls and baseboards.

Clean ceiling fan.

 A few months ago I got really sick of the mass amount of

toys my kids have collected over the years so I went to 

Home Depot and bought a few organizational bins.

I allowed each kid to have 3 bins and we labeled each one.

Kayden has Polly Pocket, Littlest Pet Shop, and Barbies.

Davin has Trucks & Bikes, Tools, and Legos.

Any toy that didn't fit into these categories was outta there.

It was a huge relief and made cleaning up so much easier.

They still had a couple "big" toys like dolls and car tracks but

those weren't a problem to begin with. It's those tiny Happy Meal

useless pieces of crap toys that they forget about in 5 seconds but

gets lost in the toy box forever. Those are the problems!

Here is Britty's closet after I cleaned it out.

Organizing her clothes took some time.

At that age, they are cycling through clothes so fast!

In her dresser is 12-18mo stuff.
The bins in her closet are 2T summer and 2T winter.

There is also a huge box in there with everything 3T+.

The pink basket is full of shoes.

I enjoy keeping in touch on there too!
