Overhauling

I made some tea this morning, which I have happily rediscovered this week because it's been overcast and chilly.  And I went upstairs to sit at my desk (my favorite place to hang out in the mornings.)  I intended to write an awesome Throwback Thursday post, but I happened to pass by McKay's room and saw this...

ugh!

 and what exactly do you think is the purpose of this?? to impale people trying to escape from his room?  

Here's what it looked like AFTER I got through with it, three hours later...I moved some furniture around so I could vacuum under it, and I liked it better, so I left it there.  

It took a good chunk of my morning and it would have been better to have waited for McKay to come home from school and help with this, but I wouldn't have been able to get rid of all this stuff...

...only the Legos went back in that room.  And I still have no idea why he had one of my cookie sheets in there.

There are very few things in life that bring greater satisfaction than cleaning and organizing sutff.  And the best part was when McKay came home from school and said, "Whoa, my room is so beautiful!"  Hopefully it'll stay that way for awhile.
