A Room to Play

Well, we've been busy over the last couple of weeks. A lot has happened since my last post. We got dumped on with snow again earlier this week...although the foot we got was nothing compared to the 2 feet Valpo got just west of us. Fortunately we had an amazing "heat wave" this weekend, landing temps in the upper 40's, lower 50's. Almost all of the snow is gone - we can finally see grass again, and our driveway!

While stuck inside from the freezing temps and mounds of snow, Randy and I took it upon ourselves to do some "spring cleaning" in the basement. This should have happened a long time ago, but at least we finally got around to it. We've spent the last 2 weeks cleaning up the basement trying to get it organized. Randy spent an entire day tacking up wires and cords that were never properly secured, we sorted through boxes we still hadn't unpacked and things we didn't know what to do with, filled in some cracks with crack filler, and got the floor cleared of all boxes. There's really quite a bit of space down there when there's not empty boxes sitting on the floor!

When it was all done, we decided to turn it into a playroom for the kids. A long time goal of ours, we didn't think it would be possible for a few more months. But ultimately we were able to move all the kids toys from their room and the family room down to their newly made "playroom". I'm in heaven!!! Here's a few photo's of it all.
