A Tuesday Evening...

Well, here it is Tuesday night and the house is quiet - for now.  The four youngest are asleep, the next two are more-or-less quietly going through their bedtime routines, and the oldest four are away at catechism classes.  Normally Gerald teaches the younger kids catechism on Tuesday nights, at home.  Not tonight, though, since he has a number of other pressing things to attend to.  The kids had a popcorn and hot chocolate party instead. (Shh...don't tell the big kids!)

While Gerald did this...

These are times when I'm glad I'm not in charge of maintenance around here.  (But clothing maintenance is my job, and I've just noticed that someone's socks need to be replaced. :-o )


Other evenings Gerald has worked on putting shelves in the new closets.  Hurray for storage space!  Getting organized is one of my most favouritest things to do!  It makes me feel happy all over. :) I was so glad to get this stuff out of the dark, dusty basement to where we can access it easily.  This is the closet that backs on to the laundry room and is the new home for photo albums and games...

It's neat...for now.

 

And this one is in the front hallway, where the bathroom used to be.  A great place for our craft and school supplies...

It still needs a top shelf, and I hope to get some buckets to store the fabric in here.

And, no less impressive, the broom closet...

I do so love to have a place for everything.

Nadia finds that having things accessible is perfectly delightful, too.  She will need to learn that  having access to things is not the same as having permission to access things.

The weather has been fabulous lately.  Such a treat to see so much sunshine! 

Enjoy it while it lasts!
