Saturday Canceled

Today we had planned to attend soccer games, then hit the pool. They closed the fields, too wet and muddy. Kids decided against the pool. Poor mom was out voted. Church instead and an evening with friends. We had an inspection on the new house. It went very well. We are so excited to move, it will be hard to wait all summer. At least I have plenty of time to get organized! I tackled the basement a few weeks ago, but there is always room for improvement. I really want to do it right in this house. While I am giving up some spaces I am used to, I am also gaining new ones. The laundry room for example. Here it serves not only for laundry, but craft, lunch and tote supplies, paper goods and more. It's quite a versatile space. The new house does not have a laundry room, just machines in a closet. It will be a challenge to decide where new homes will be for the rest of my things. I want to create a mud room feel in the garage, right next to the house entrance. I want cubbies and hooks for each kid. The craft supplies I hope to create an area in the basement especially for such projects. I also want to have an area for the kids to sit and play board games. I have high hopes for the basement areas. Getting a new house can only come with the desire for new things. My mind is a swirl of pinterest ideas. Shelves for everything, organized areas and a bigger table. We've found plans for a farm house table. N said we could give it a try. I'd love a new, bigger table to fit our family more comfortable. It would come in handy during when we get together with family and friends. The ideas are great, but executing them will be a challenge. First, to get the hubby on board the building train. Wish me luck.
