freezer is organized

My favorite blog ever is "iheartorganizing"...it is so inspirational.  It breaks down all the organizing I want to do into small steps, baby steps that I can actually handle.  I always get so overwhelmed at how much I have to organize that I end up giving up all together.

My projects this month:

1. get the freezer organized

2. finish Malia's bow holder (work in progress but almost done)

3. get hooks up on the walls (thank you Scott for finishing this)

4.  pantry (this is a big job)

Today I finished the freezer organizing.  It is now beautiful and we don't have to worry about frozen things falling onto our feet or our kids heads when the freezer door opens.  It was easy peasy too.  I cleaned out all the items that had been in there for way too long yesterday and did a quick mental inventory of what was left.  I measured our freezer to make sure the tubs would fit and basically copied the freezer from "i heart organizing".

And now voila...our organized freezer with labels and everything!  I keep opening it just to look at how beautiful it is!!  It's the little things right?

And on a side note...Let me just say that I am in love with the multi-purpose storage bins from Container Store.  The extras that I bought today, that I had planned on returning, have already come into great use and I am kicking myself for not purchasing more!

Before...what a mess.  

Aaaaah, everything in it's place now!

 This was the super scary area before...stuff would fall out whenever we opened the freezer.

Have no fear now!!

These three were having so much fun this morning, chasing hurricanes.  The pillows are their steering wheels and they have on their helmets, ready for actions.  I loved hearing them play as I was cooking away in the kitchen...it was music to my ears.

Belgatos park

We spent a gorgeous Sunday morning at Belgatos.  I still can't get over this sunny, warm weather.

Scott installed hooks in Kekoa's room for all his dress up clothes.  As he was hanging up his dress up outfits, he renewed his love for his knight costume.  I love that he was my little knight at the park...such a cutie.

The knight pushing his lady...

Waiting for his buddy Milan.

These two boys had a blast, finding huge sticks, little sticks, all kinds of sticks.  They stacked them up on a picnic table and pretended it was their campfire.

she blows me away

My little girl is such a cutie pie, a little spit fire.  I love her.

Each Friday morning, we try to make it to library story time.  I'm pretty sure it is the highlight of her week.  She just loves it so much.  I couldn't believe it today, she was copying everything the librarian did.  The librarian was teaching us a bunch of words in sign language and Malia caught on so quick.  She was having a blast dancing and laughing at the stories.  It amazes me to watch her, pure entertainment.  I wish someone could have recorded the entire half hour of Malia at story time.  I am not used to having such an outgoing child.  Kekoa is so different, definitely on the more introverted side of things.  Malia just jumps right in, this girl is such a dancer!  

Malia really does blow me away!

beautiful boy

Kekoa was so tuckered out from the beach today...I couldn't even wake him up when I moved him from the car to the couch.  So envious of his eye lashes!!
