Well, it's that time of year again. How is it that we accumulate enough stuff every year that we need to have annual yard sales? Well anyway, hopefully we'll make enough money to help pay for our trip to Florida in June.

Now many of you have been to my home for a baby shower, wedding shower, girls' night, Christmas party, or something like that. I always try to create a perfect environment for such events. But maybe you haven't noticed that our bedroom doors are always closed.

Here's one reason why: Stephen has almost no organizational skills, or at least he doesn't care to utilize them. His room really does look like tornado territory most of the time, with little land mines here and there. Strangely enough, he can find just about anything in there, and it really doesn't bother him to sleep in such a mess. Chris and I have decided to compromise a little and just put some big boxes in his room to put his stuff in, instead of micro-organizing into fifteen different categories. We'll see if that produces different results or not!

So here's a look at the current state of things. I had to pile everything up just so I could move his bed and take out the old dresser (it's going in the yard sale). I realize that he has a sinful number of toys, but in our defense do you know how many tiny pieces boy toys have? I'll post an "after" picture soon...hopefully.

FYI Our bedroom is only slightly cleaner than Stephen's, so never, ever open that door!!!
