Organizing the garage.

I saw a very funny cartoon once it was a Family Circus.  Billy was standing in the garage with his dad and the garage is a mess.  Toys bikes and kids stuff all over.  Billy says to his dad something like "Dad when I grow up I am going to keep my garage clean.  I think of this comic all the time as I am hurdling bikes, and trikes, and scooters, and wiggle racers etc. 

My wife is the greatest, on Friday afternoon I started moving all the kids stuff out of the garage so I could organize.  Out of the house comes my girls with my wife and they are going school clothes shopping.  I decide to go along mostly as a referee to keep my three daughters in line and make it easier for my wife to help them shop.  Because I went shopping I didn't get my garage cleaned out. 

Saturday morning my wonderful wife organized the children, which is something akin to herding cats, and we proceeded to clean and organize the garage.  I was amazed at how much junk accumulates in a single house.  Most of what I had to organize was stuff that belongs to my children.  We had a big load we took to Deseret Industries, which for those of you who don't know is like goodwill.  I was very pleased to get all that stuff cleared out.  I was able to almost completely empty one gigantic shelf that I built in our garage.  I almost don't know what to do with all the room.  But alas I am sure my children will have it filled back up in no time at all.  Until that occurs however I will enjoy pulling into my nice clean and organized garage.
