Spring Cleaning: Team Carlson Style
This week is spring break, and it is BEAUTIFUL - in every way. The weather has been gorgeous, meaning that we've each spent some time on the back deck, and Matt even put in a little fence for the dogs today. Now the dogs are completely comatose on the couch, as they spent the afternoon having free reign of the house AND the yard!
We spent many hours yesterday moving furniture around - the front room is back to being my office, the back room is now our bedroom, and the middle room is now Matt's office. I know: quite a sexy spring break, huh? Well, I'm very much into the idea of making our awesome house a home this spring and summer - and that starts with getting rid of a LOT of stuff and doing some MAJOR spring cleaning!
To keep it interesting, Matt and I have begun a little competition. We have made a list of spring cleaning tasks and assigned point values to each task. Whenever one of us completes a task, they get the associated points. Most points wins $50. We've got two iterations of the Spring Cleaning Challenge - one began today and ends June 1st while the second runs June 1st to August 15th. May the tidiest or most industrious Carlson win!
Yes, we are enormous dorks. Our dorkiness is pretty lovable, donchya think?
Once the house is back to some semblance of order, we'll take some pictures. There is talk of paint cans and non-functional (i.e. purely decorative) items. GASP!
