Spring Cleaning and new toys! Now with photos!

As promised, this blog now has photos!

I have been on a spring cleaning kick this past couple of weeks. It all started when we got new beds for the kids. Suddenly I realized that I could get rid of all the baby bedding, toddler bed, Super boy's old twin bed, and all the twin size stuff that didn't match anything else! So that started a whole bunch of ads on KSL, and now Ebay! I was successful in selling the beds and some other baby stuff on KSL, but the bedding didn't go so well. Then I decided to take all the baby clothes I had been collecting and finally try to sell them at kid to kid...I got $17 for about 1/5 of my stash. So now I'm on Ebay hoping to recoop some $$$ from this stuff! But it has made me into this cleaning frenzied woman! I feel a little crazy!
To boost this cleaning frenzy, we decided to buy a big LCD tv...to give you an idea of how big it is, it is about 52" wide and 33" tall! Because the TV is so big, we had to clean out the entertainment center & move it into storage (super girl's room), and that snowballed me into cleaning off our desks and organizing them! I even got a new, very comfy office chair. We also had some bad luck with one of our laptops, so now I will be confined to a desktop (thus the new comfy chair). But all in all, it has been fun! Yes mother, I just said that I have been having fun cleaning! Pick your jaw up off the floor! Stop laughing...I'm serious!
I made out quite well on our new stuff, as you can see from the pics! We even got new bedding for us! I actually got the sheets when I was in Cali, but I just got the quilt a couple weeks ago, and it matches all of our new sheet sets and all of our old sheet sets! It's so pretty! Yay me!
