Living Room Challenge: Day 3

No picture today, but I was able to wash my new window--it looks sooo much better!--and thoroughly vacuum one side of the room (under the windows). I also took down the spoon rack (I collect souvenir spoons), and took all the spoons off. I vacuumed and dusted the rack (it was nasty!) and washed all the spoons. The kids helped me dry them, and put them all back on the rack for me. I also used silver polish on the 6 spoons that are silver plated. Not perfect, but they look much better.

After Josiah's checkup, we went to the playground for a few minutes as a special treat. Then we headed to Walmart, where I purchased another 3-drawer cart for more toy storage. Tonight I reorganized some of the toys and was able to get rid of 2 cardboard boxes where I had been storing them. Yay! Things look neater and less junky now. I also was looking through a new Penney's catalog that we got yesterday, and found curtains that I really, really like. We've got to look over the finances this weekend and figure out if we can afford them or not. They are tab tops, like we already have, but they look a lot spiffier. :) I'll let you know what happens--our windows may have a new look in a few weeks!

On the docket for tomorrow: Finish vacuuming, spot clean the rug, and possibly tackle the inside of the hutch! Things are coming along really well.
