This book was great- I would read a chapter and go attack a room. I don't know why I still have so much stuff when I have already gotten rid of so much!! One day...

40 Day Challenge: Day 36

A good day! I had help. :-D It makes a big difference when the boys wash/dry even 1 load of dishes.

Our friends Sean and Laura were here when I took the picture- so, yes, I cut off both the guys' heads.

Laura is a great one for me to have around. She always pushes me to get rid of more stuff. I do want to simplify/have a minimalist house. I work better at putting stuff away if there is not as much stuff.

40 Day Challenge: Day 35

It was a busy day- seems like there was just one thing after another then we came home late from a bible study and I didn't take pictures- so this is the next morning, what I woke up to.

40 Day Challenge: Day 34

I had a meeting in the evening and Brian had a Bible study so the boys were told to fold the laundry and do the dishes- it was one load of laundry and just dinner dishes, not much. But, they forgot. So when we got home later this is what we found. And I didn't do anything about it, I just went to bed. Oh well, it still won't take long to do it in the morning.
BTW- Brian posed for this shot. He hasn't been reading this blog and checked it out yesterday, so then he "assumed the pose" because he is like that in most of the pictures. LOL

40 Day Challenge: Day 33

Well, after a month I do feel like I have more control over these areas. I'm not sure it's habit yet, but it's certainly alot better!!

40 Day Challenge: Day 32

We were out helping some friends paint their new house and were out late and this is how the living room looked when we came home. I was so pleased. :-)


The kitchen counter is not so great looking, but Stephen had washed all the dishes and then moved the drainer out on the counter so that he could scrub the sink out, so it looks messier in the picture. And I had washed out the vacuum cleaner filters so they are sitting by the sink drying- I didn't really have anywhere else to put them.
