HGTV...Here we come!

Lately, David and I have been watching shows on HGTV about remodeling your home. We have painted the downstairs and are going to put in granite counter tops and crown molding. I have learned that "less is more." So today we spent all day winter cleaning. We took two loads to Goodwill (Our time is too valuable to go through all the work of a yard sale), one load to the landfill and two loads to the dump. We cleared out what we are not using and reorganized. We even cleaned the boys rooms and better organized their things. We have so much stuff that we never use so we figured we ought to give it to someone who needs it. We also asked Zachary to give some of his old toys to "the poor children." He donated a few trucks and a tool box...and he rode with me to Goodwill saying "we are giving to the poor children." It was so cute and is teaching him good lessons. Believe it or not, we have several more days of work to do...especially in the attic.
