A Little Snow

We got a heap of sparkly snow overnight. Public schools are closed. Big kids are finishing up some shoveling.

I tried to look up online how much snow we got, but it turns out that information is hard to come by. The weather advisory says "storm total 5-8 inches" but it looks like we got more than that already. I was guessing 8-12 inches on the driveway. Hard to tell when it's light and poofy. But from the stump I'd guess around 10"

The snow interrupts our about-to-get-back-to-Organizing plans. First we took a break for the holidays, then Hollie has been quite sick for quite a while! :( She's finally feeling better and we were going to ease her back in with a half-day of work today. But God overruled our plans, she gets another day of rest.

But in the meantime, I actually did do a little Kimorganizing, myself! No, really!

I can't remember if I told you I did the back bathroom by myself.

Hollie and I had also, at one point, sort of sorted The Grand Lunar's Desk.

Here's the before picture of that zone - I guess I don't have one of just the desk:

He said he was no longer happy with the wire 'college cube' shelving, so we figured we'd get some other kind of hutch for his desk. Only we couldn't find anything we loved.

In the end, I built a hutch/shelves out of some of those stackable cube units that Target and Meijer sell, and added some shelves. Here's his desk when I'd emptied out the cubes but before I removed them, the day I started building the new hutch.

We still need to finish sorting and organizing what went back into it, but this is it pre-organized:

The green and turquoise totes are ones we've emptied out as we've organized other areas. I offered the Grand Lunar red ones, since he likes red better, but he was amiable to use what we already had.

I should've turned on the cool light saber up across the top before taking the picture. Remind me to do that when I take the final organized pic of the desk.

Anyway. I guess I better get walking and doing laundry.

Great job Kim! Grand Lunar's desk area looks great! Does he like the new arrangement?

Lovely! (The desk.)

Wonderful! (The snow.)

We were supposed to get snow, but it just rained again. It's been in the 20's all week, but no snow. How depressing is that?

Great job on the desk!

We got snow too which ended only this morning. It looks like we got less than you this time.

Good job organizing! Looks great! I agree taht the light saber turned on would have looked really cool!

Great job, Kim! How satisfying for you that you could do it by yourself, without that overwhelmed feeling! I love when the public schools are closed, because then I don't get weird looks when the kids are out and about with me. :)

Oh you got a lot of snow! We've had blizzardy, white out conditions today, but not a major amount of snow. It's cold out there!

The Grand Lunars desk looks really good. Is that a rubix cube I see in the Grand Lunar's toy collection? I use to have one of those as a child. They have since made a come back and I had to buy both my children one. I can only do one side. I use to be able to do 2 sides.

I LOVE that hutch you built. That is an amazing idea. I love organizing but never would have thought of that!!!!

I miss snow. If it weren't for the distance from family, I would LOVE to move up north again!
