We spent the better part of the day organizing our kitchen. It isn't necessarily done yet, but it had been a disaster since the boys moved in.

Younger Boy was even fairly helpful. He was in charge of throwing things away and combining things that needed to be combined. He was also responsible for washing out everything that could be recycled.

Middle Boy was in charge of emptying the cabinets and moving things to boxes to go to the homeless shelter and doing an inventory.

We were productive. We are going to do that type of work regularly until we are at a point where we don't have a bunch of extra stuff anymore. It isn't going to be instantaneous, but we are getting there.

Praises for good help and following directions.
