★ 30-Day Organize-athon | Day 17

Hi and welcome back again

Today started with a lets do more craft day

So first Jalan painted the other side of her baskets for the grandparents



                                           Hard at work concentrating

Then we finished of our bucket/cups for the carrot tree in last nights blog  I uploaded the pics to it today 
                                     Then we printed and made a bunny mask

                                                      Jalan had to see it
                                           Then Daddy joined in
                               We made some bunny ears and did some face painting
Then we took a break from craft and made some marshmallow easter bunnies but they are in the fridge and we forgot to take pics while we were doing them

Jalan added all the ingredients to the big bowl and watched it mix until it turned all white and thick then we poured it into the easter bunny moulds and put it int he fridge to set

Rowan made a egg custard for dessert  while we were doing the bunnies

Then some people came and took away Jalans old bed and some old tyres we had under the house  Gosh I love freecycle   They were both very lovely and we had a good yak for over half and hour

Felt like rice for dinner so put the rice in the cooker and got out the left over spaghetti bog from last night and the left over chicken wings from the night before
Didnt want plain rice so got out some chicken strips and some veges and put them all in a saucepan with a french onion soup mix and a casserole base and threw them all in and boiled them away and used some of the liquid on my rice
Rowan had the spaghetti then some wings and rice 
I just had rice with a bit of diced chicken

While it was all cooking i packed away the craft supplies and Rowan set the table

After dinner we had some egg custard and Rowan said its nice but we should have made a pie case or something for it 

Surprise Surprise Jalan didn't like it  
Then we all pitched in and cleaned up the table and the kitchen and now it is all nice and clean for tomorrow

Logged on and saw tonights task which is

Declutter The Kids’ Toys    

This once again is a easy task for us at the moment as when we took Jalans bed out and put the bunks in her room we did a huge declutter then 

All she has left now is easily manageable for her at 5 as it is all sorted into her favorite toys and categories  We are teaching her to take one thing or set out at a time play with it clean it up before you take something else out to play with 

When she was told to clean her room up tonight after craft it was a easy 5 minutes job    Her top bunk is being used at the moment to display her Mater Miracle Puppies that she gets each time she goes into hospital and her Dora dolls 

Teaching her to only take one book at a time is seeming to be a little bit more difficult  

We took away a lot of toys that she either doesnt play with or were either not age appropriate or broken or missing parts   Her mini trampoline now fits nicely under her bed with her Dora sit and spin and her shoe box 

We still have a bit more to do in her wardrobe but for now I am very happy with her room  Just have to teach her how to make the bed next.   

As for the teenagers room well as long as the door is shut i no longer care or stress  apart from making him open his windows now and then to air the room out and vacuum it every now and then to keep some semblance of humanity for him 

All in all a good day and quite a lot done but still have not made Jalans easter tree which is what we originally had planned 3 days ago 

Found out today that our printer will print on the card stock i have here so am happy that i no longer have to glue the pic onto cardboard then cut it out for extra strength 

Gidget is doing ok albeit a but sad and sorry for herself   She limps when she thinks some one is looking  The rest of the time she walks fine but does not like standing up for too long 

We are keeping her inside and wrapped up most of the time  She is shaking a lot still and am not sure if it is still a bit of fright or she is cold 


Well thats me for another day 

See you soon 

Luv Deb
