organizing and re-arranging upstairs

not much, but it was fun. on friday, L & a friend bought another bookshelf for jake's room and put it together. on saturday morning, i pulled out my childhood toy box which was filled with books and i filled the new bookshelf. i took the toy box to the guest room closet, cleaned said closet out, and put a bunch of extra books (that were in a box in the closet) and stuff into the toy box in the guest room closet which now looked a lot cleaner and emptier. then L pulled the big baby toys out of the playroom closet and reconfigured them in there like a puzzle in order to get more in there. we added a number of big things that jake doesn't play with anymore to this closet and the playroom looked much better. we took the chair from the woodbridge living room from the playroom and swapped it for the chess table in the office / library. we put an extra end table where the chair was between the couch and the futon and pushed them together. we moved the kid's rug over between those two items and moved the train table over to the more "play" area of the room by the closet. that created two more distinct areas
of the room. we measured the guest room and considered putting jake in there, but it would've been seriously crammed and a lot of work just for the "fun" of it. a big saturday accomplishment!
