During the cleaning frenzy, we successfully cleaned out Brooklyn's disaster of a room, Isaac's semi-disaster of a room and the hall closet. I'm most proud of the hall closet! This is where we store all of our board games. My kids love board games more than life itself. They are constantly dragging one game out of the closet after another. And like most kids their age, cleanup leaves a bit to be desired...
So, I came up with a seemingly perfect plan! Organization! Such a simple word that has eluded me for a long time. But, with four kids in the house, I decided that it was time to just suck it up and meet this four letter word (three four letter words actually).
Plan: Make the board games complete sets again and contain them so that they are always ready to play and, most importantly, easy to pack back up again.
I purchased snack, sandwich and jumbo sized Ziploc bags for this mission and spread out on the bedroom floor. Each game was re-organized with all of the necessary parts going into separate bags and then all the bags going into the jumbo sized Ziploc bag. I cut the label off the original box and attached it to the bag for quick reference and I have now reclaimed my hall closet!

| The game in the top row center is Monopoly! No more stepping on little houses every time I open the closet door. |

| Nine board games in a little bitty place! |
