dismantle crib in guest room and get it to basement
start toy sort in basement
dust and vacuum LR, FR, DR, hallway

I've already started a few loads of laundry.

I can't remember what I do on Tuesdays. :think :bag I have a new chore routine, and I'm drawing a blank. LOL I'll be back... I think it's tidy the girl's rooms.

I need to run a load of dishes, fold some laundry, put away laundry. I also need to do some homeschool and crafts with my beauties. <3
