Today was a fairly simple day.   Josh worked on his Math, Science, Latin and finished mowing the lawn. 
Jess, Nomi and Daniel worked on their creative projects.

After lunch I suddenly felt frustrated with the clutter of our family room – I cancelled all previously considered plans and we decluttered Daniel’s room and the family room.  We still have one spot left in the family room but we will get to that tomorrow!  It made such a difference.

I then needed one hour in the office before we went visiting.  Daniel happily played in his bedroom – the idea was that he wouldn’t come and interrupt me.  We talked about it later in the day, how nice it was to play in his room because it was tidy.  I am hoping that here is some motivation to keep it tidy.

For this hour the girls kept decluttering in the family room.  We moved the “Pile Table” out and moved in the beanbags.  The kids now have a reading nook – or most likely they will sit on the beanbags while listening to audio stories.  Once again motivation to keep it tidy.
