Projects

When Keith initiates a project on his own (aka with my nagging) I become quite happy. This has been on the 'to do' list since we moved here but since it involved a room that is out of sight it was not top priority. Our basement storage room was in need of new sturdy shelves and re-organization. Keith worked on it this week while I was at work.

Removing the old flimsy shelving. They were not strong or deep enough for anything bigger than a shoebox.

It had to all come out so it could go back in properly! Keith found six boxes of his that he hadn't unpacked from the move. This will be his next project :)
All those shoe boxes contain every card received by myself or the family. I can't throw away greeting cards for some reason! I also have a large box of 'Seventeen' magazines that I have kept over the years. I think they will be amusing to look at in about 20 years or so!

And the finished shelfing unit. It's sturdy and organized and just what that room needed!

And this is what the boys have been doing. As a result of clearing out the 'stuff' we discovered my long kept tube of Doodle Art posters. I love coloring and bought out all the Doodle Art from a local hobby shop when it was closing down eons ago. I don't know if you can even buy the original Doodle Art anymore. So I checked out the contents of the tube to find one blank poster left. Yippee....the boys (and the big boy) are having a great deal of fun coloring!!!
