Here is a little bit that I may not have shared, but it really does relate...we decided to rearrange the house. We have tried having Hayden's toys in a spare bedroom, but he really wants to run around more. Plus, we have a lot of space upstairs that wasn't getting used, space downstairs that wasn't being used, and no guest bedroom because it was a toy room. Our house is set up so that when you walk in the door, you can go upstairs or downstairs. Upstairs, we have a kitchen, 3 bedrooms, and a bathroom. Off of the kitchen, there is a short set of stairs that leads to a large area that sits over the garage. Downstairs, there is a bedroom, a bathroom, the laundry room, and a very large open area. We decided to move the office all the way upstairs and the tv/playroom downstairs. That gives us a guest bedroom and uses space better.
In the office was a small desk that I bought when I first moved to Colorado because I had a small apartment. We've kept it and it does get used, but mainly to hold stuff that should go in a folder, file, trash, or whatever. Guess what! It is gone! I was going to take it to a thrift store, but thought of a better use. I took it to school! I took it to use as an extra desk in my classroom. It will be perfect for my students. If someone needs extra space to work, a group wants to work together, or someone just wants to sit apart, it will serve a new purpose. No longer will it catch stuff that I should be organizing from the start; now it will help serve my students' needs :)
I don't have a picture because we already got it moved up to school, but I'll share a few of the rearranging in progress just to distract you.
