For the past few years, Alex and Emma were sharing a room. We thought that putting Alex in with Emma was the best option since, at the time, both he and Hannah had a hard time going to sleep at bedtime. There was way too much playing and jumping on beds and it just wasn’t worth the nightly battles.
The problem with the sharing of the room though is that both kids were very messy. It was rare that the carpet could be seen thanks to all of the toys, laundry, etc. on the floor. Despite our repeated attempts to get the kids to keep their room clean, it was always a mess. Even when the floor was clean, it was still a mess thanks to a lot of clutter on the shelves. Holly and I both hated it but figured that once Emma moved downstairs things would probably get better since things wouldn’t be so crowded.

Now that the basement is almost completely finished, I decided that the weekend would be spent trying to clean the garage enough to allow one of our vehicles to be parked inside. I have always taken great pride in the fact that, unlike some of our neighbors, we could actually park both vehicles in the garage and still have room to walk around them. When we decided to start working on the basement though, all that changed. I still took pride in being able to park in the garage, I just couldn’t. It’s amazing how much room sheetrock, lumber, bathroom stuff, etc. takes up.
