Saturday Chores…The Garage!

I don’t know what it is that is so comforting about Saturday chores.  I love them.  I love that the house gets clean, I love seeing my family work together, and I love that Zac insists that we can only work if dance tunes are playing…loud.

Today, the garage was the main thing I wanted to tackle.  My work space has been a disaster lately!

I just finished painting this bed and it doesn’t matter how many drop cloths I put down – black dust settles everywhere!  So the floor was in serious need of a mop.

Oooo…nasty!

After four grueling hours, it’s still cluttered, but now it’s clean and cluttered!

One of the projects on our list for this year is to get the garage more organized.  That means hanging bike racks, more hooks and those nifty ceiling shelves for all our camping junk supplies.

Isabelle helped Zac change the oil in his car.

And when they were finished, he hung my CD player on the wall!  This is our little dance corner :)

  2. Ripping off more siding! I love weekends where lots is accomplished!
    Do you know what kind of coating is on your garage floor? It looks like it cleans up nice.

  3. You've inspired me to clean up my work space which is also the garage. Maybe I ought to take your tip of playing dance music. Sounds fun. Your daughters are adorable!
