"Mommy take picture"

I spent the entire day reorganizing my basement/laundry room.  We got new dressers for our bedroom and decided to keep the old ones in our basement.  I took boxes of maternity clothes we have been storing down there and put them in the drawers, because I don't really like having so many boxes stacked around.  I also brought Graesen's slide in for the summer and set it up with his ball pit at the end.  I brought his basketball hoop down there too and add a paper roll to his art table.  Now the basement is set up for winter.  There are lots of toys and physical activities that Graesen can do down there when it is cold out and he is starting to feel cooped up.  I didn't do it today, but I am going to bring his tricycle down there too so he can ride up and down the hallway. 

I also reorganized all the stuff we had stored in our laundry room.  We had tons of boxes just stacked up on one side.  We had some flooding a while back and we had pushed everything to one side to keep it all dry.  I went out and got some rubbermaid bins yesterday so I wouldn't have to worry about things getting wet.  I went through all the boxes of baby clothes and sorted them by size.  I put them into the new bins and labeled them.  I am so excited that everything is so organized now!

Graesen was so sweet and put up with me cleaning all day.  He did a lot of art work while I worked and then decided to "help" me.  He liked to climb into bins and ask me to take his picture.  Only, the second I grabbed the camera he would start coming towards me to see the picture, so the pictures ended up a little silly :)
