Like everyone else, we have a few spaces in our life and home that are extra messy. You know what I mean. Dumping grounds. Where all the junk goes. Our shed has become one of these spots in the years passed, and today was the day we decided to dig into it! Before the snow flies, we thought we should clean the shed out good and proper. If we ever do get to move, it will very likely be in winter 😩 and I’d rather we had done the yard stuff, and didn’t have to do it then, in the snow-filled backyard.
We borrowed a trailer from Rae and Tom, and it is back in the driveway, ready to be organized and loaded up with more things that we’d ideally not deal with in the wintertime. As in, all the shed stuff, the garage stuff, and really anything we just know we won’t need here for the next few months.
This is the part where I REALLY hope we don’t have to unlaod all of this stuff back into this house. Lord, hear our prayers!!
Anywho. Back to the day!!!
We are burning up some of the pallets that won’t travel with us, that are too damaged to use for anything.
We’re pulling ALL the toys out of the shed to see what is still in good enough shape to save and what is going to go.
Sooooo much is going, hahaha! But we’re keeping the things that are still in good shape that the kids are invested in. Sleds. Metal tonkas. The kids sized wheelbarrow. Croquet. Stuff like that. Almost all the plastic went.
We broke for lunch, and I heated up some leftovers on the stove for this tired, chilly bunch. It was a very relaxed lunch. Pizza bites. Tortellini. Soup. Everyone ate and rested up at least a little.
Back out we went for a little bit more work. We got the fire going up again, and loaded a bunch of garbage into Brady’s van to haul away as soon as holiday hours allow. Kids played, and we sipped coffee until it was time to move again. I VERY much love this man. 💜
But then, a morsel got cold, and needed to eat, and upon re-entering the house, another morsel squawked at me. So, I’ll lurk inside with those monkeys, and the rest of the gang is keeping at it!
I, too, am keeping at it. But in a different way 😅 and thats ok!
