I feel so good about today. I really feel like we got sooo much done! The bin we rented is FULL!!! Totally FULL :) Yay :)
And best of all, the garage is sooooo empty that it ECHOES :) and it is swept clean and it seems soooo much bigger! It's fabulous! The kids did a great job helping me and worked really hard throwing stuff into the bin, putting things in bags, sweeping, sorting. Susannah invited Cassie over and they baked cookies and brought Laurence and I a cup of tea each while we finished up the garage together - it was real team work to get everything done :) And wow is it ever all done - it looks amazing!
We found a whole cupboard of car care products and so I set to work cleaning, polishing, waxing and giving my truck some TLC :) It is now all shiny and gorgeous :) I have a coupon for full detailing at a place in ST Albert, so as soon as the rear light is fixed I'm going to take it in to be detailed - my car soooo needs to be detailed inside!! Its terrible!! Then I guess it won't be long and the winter tyres will need to be put on! And I have a coupon for a service too so I will book that at the same time.
I have a few chores around here to do this week - ones I made a list of while I was cleaning up the garage - outside chores before the winter weather arrives - we are due some hot weather this week so it will be perfect for the things I need to get done.
All in all a great first day of the holiday weekend. Laurence has gone to his friends house tonight. Cassie's sleeping over tonight and tomorrow we're off to the Cornfest.
Better get some sleep :)
Oh and I am KICKING myself for not taking before and after pics of the garage :(
