Today was a great day. The whole day flew by so quickly... I like those kind of days! Also, it was a very productive day....
I don't go in the kids' room much... it's messy and cluttered. They clean it by pushing all the toys into a corner. And, sometimes that "cleaning" method works... but lately, I've been so frustrated with the mess! SO.... yesterday, I fore-warned the big boys. I told them that today we would be cleaning their room. So, I had a trash bag, a "keep" box, and a "sell" box (make some money off their junk...right?)... we went through EVERY toy in their room and I asked them "keep or sell?" If one of them said keep, I kept it. I don't want them, one day, to say, "I really wanted such-and-such toy, but you threw it away!" So, we have a bunch of toys to keep... BUT ... we have a whole plastic tote of "sell" toys!

WAHOO....SUCCESS!
Here's my BEFORE/AFTER PICS!!
I'm so proud of my boys...
they did so good!
For dinner, I made smothered chicken...sure wish I had taken a picture, cause it was really pretty!! I baked chicken. Sauteed onions, garlic, and mushrooms in a butter/olive oil mixture. Then I spooned the veggies over the chicken & smothered it with pepper-jack cheese.
OMG...it was DELICIOUS!!
I served it with mashed potatoes and succotash (corn & lima beans).
Productive day and yummy dinner = PERFECTION!
