Now that Spring has arrived, well not officially yet, but only another day to go, I have started my spring cleaning. Today I am tackling my windows, and hope to complete the task.
Here is what I have on my to do list:
*please note, items that have been completed are in red*
- Clean my windows,inside and out + wash those grimy screens( you wouldn't believe how much dirt is built up on the screens)
- Carpet Cleaning (I do this twice a year in the spring and the fall)
- Upholstery cleaning (I do this once a year)
- Curtain cleaning(I do this once a year)
- Dusting blinds/shades( an awful task that is done once a year)
- Putting away winter clothing (hurray, I love putting away the winter stuff)
- Organizing spring clothing ( make a long list of things the kids have grown out of that you need to buy)
- cleaning the car inside and out
- cleaning the garage-putting away winter shovels, tobaggans, toys, and bringing out the spring/summer toys and tools
- cleaning up the garden- this is a big job(removing tree wrap, weeding, raking, fertilizing, planting, seeding, moving shrubs)etc. This is done over the next few months
- Hold a garage sale! (I have the hugest pile of stuff in the basement ready to garage sale. I am sure there will be more to add to the pile before then)
- Move furniture and vacuum beneath it(you would be amazed what you find under furniture)
- changing sheets (fleece to cotton, this job is hard to do, as I love my fleece sheets!)
- cleaning baseboards(another awful task that is done once a year)
- Repaint my garage doors
- Change our car tires from winter to all season
- Tune up the cars
- Tune up the bikes
- Move heavy furniture
- Build a picnic table(almost done)
- Fix the play structure(we took it a part to remove the slide/tree house portion and just keep the swing portion as the kids are getting too big for that side, but are not willing to give up the swings just yet)
- setting up the trampoline(job completed, need to fix one section though)
- checking the bbq and air conditioner to make sure they are in good working condition
- Build seed catcher to place under our outdoor bird feeder so the seeds don't end up in my garden.(not sure what yet, but he is very creative)
