Designated rest day...and perfect timing too!! We were up late last night having a festive night and it was nice to sleep in. I purchased my kids candy for $8 (because they are 8 years old). Best investment EVER. I took all that junk out to the trash man this morning. We are going to Target on Saturday to spend out hard-earned cash.

I've been cleaning like a mad lady today. AND I'm doing the pre-Christmas dejunk. I took several bags to DI and straightened up closets. I still need to tackle the toy room, but I need to find another bucket of motivation. All those darn legos and polly pockets!

We'll see how long the cleanliness lasts!

ugghhh...legos! I'm past Pollys, but legos are my nemesis!

I should've told you earlier, but I have a friend collecting candy for Festival of Trees. They use it to decorate and/or sell. She will pick it up too. Then it doesn't just have to go landfill :) You are a good mom to chuck it out though. Usually takes me a week to get to that point.

LOVE your dejunk day!!! It is definitely therapeutic; cleansing is so good for the soul!!! You're a smart mom!!! :)
