Only on the check list for two years....

I finally did it. The play room is completely, 100% done and organized!!!!!

When we moved two years ago (yes, I know, it has already been two years - the time has flown by so fast), we created a play room. One of the best decisions we ever made. Can you imagine all of these toys crammed into one room with three girls at our old house! YIKES!!! Josh & I found these fabulous shelves and bins at IKEA. We had it set up, but we could not seem to keep them as organized as I wanted. When friends would come to play and clean up, everything just kept getting stuffed into whatever bin was available and not full. Well, a friend gave me two new bins to replace a couple that were broken by one of her children months ago. I kept telling her it was not necessary, in fact I taped them up and forgot all about it. Completely out of thought - never to enter my mind again. However, her husband spear headed the replacement with the idea that I never told him. I was more than surprised when I realized what he was handing me. SNEAKY!!! I have learned my lesson! I will make sure I communicate to both of them next time.
I didn't want to just put the bins in and continue to have the messy problem. So I finally made and laminated labels for the bins to help them be better organized!!! YEAH!!! They look great and are doing their job! The play room is definitely staying more clean and actually organized. It only took me a few hours - I should have done this when we moved in like I intended to. Oh well, I can't look back now. I will just keep going on my list and things will continue to come off.

Next!!!! On to the next project I go! Ok, not really, it was off to bed. I did finish kind of late into the evening! I am so excited that this is done. I wish you could see the pure excitement on my face right now.
