Another Photo, and The Pantry

Here is another photo of stuff that left my kitchen cabinets yesterday. Additinally, I was able to clean the pantry enough to put a plastic bin in for breads. That means, NO MORE BREAD BOX ON THE COUNTER! Our house has plenty of counter space in the kitchen, but it is so much easier to wipe counters down, etc... when there is less sitting on them. Oh, and that bag on top of the box - - Scott's torn jeans. 3 pair. He's getting into it a little bit, too.

I decided to tackle the pantry last night, before dinner. The dinner I'd planned was a simple but yummy and healthy one, so I figured I'd just quickly go through it. Well... it was 8pm when I actually finished and got dinner on, but our family didn't mind, and now it is DONE too! Two big black garbage bags later, the pantry is CLEAN. I used to keep my cookbooks on a shelf of the bookshelves in our bedroom. Now they're in the pantry. Also, the bread is in the pantry, and the bread box GONE. :-) Our pantry is deep, and stuff gets shoved to the back. Thus the garbage bags filled.

It felt good to eat dinner (even late) knowing that there is no "yuck" in that big cabinet (the pantry is right next to the table). In addition to that, I cleaned out the garage fridge yesterday (we need it for "overflow" groceries - with the size of family we have). Tori went out to get a soda for Todd and was SO excited! So now, we've got Tori getting into the fun too!

Today I will try to make it a day of rest. It is hard to stop though... but that was the plan and it is God's plan.
