Spring Cleaning


It's spring cleaning time in Danau Kaseh! Since Raya is just around the corner, the task of cleaning up the house must start from now! Fortunately, the kids were more than happy to help :-)

We started in the morning with getting rid of all the rubbish in the kids' bedrooms & this alone took almost 3 hours! Broken toys & crayons, candy wrappers, torn pages of magazines & notebooks, pen covers etc were all mixed up in the toy boxes! (Mothers, I'm sure you can identify with this...). Clearing the stuffs from under the beds...OMG! I need not explain further! Dust, dust, dust everywhere! I'm glad we bought the plastic boxes that fit under beds at Ikea a few years ago. They are so useful to organize things. Adlina & Hakim helped take off all the stickers which Anas sticked on his shelves (!!!). 

Meanwhile, Adlan & Hakim were forced to re-organize their bookshelves which looked like a hurricane had swept through the shelves. Needless to say, Mama's pot-pet-pot-pet didn't go down too well with the boys this morning. Somehow, the magazine organizers that were supposed to hold books were filled with everything else but books, & books were strewn everywhere else. Sigh...

Mawar, our maid (my PA at home!) took down the curtains at the living room for a wash. It was a nice sunny Sunday & all the curtains dried in no time. Took a break in the afternoon & then cleared the store room & re-organized things. It's unbelievable how much rubbish we accumulate! Nak buang sayang pulak... So, everything were put in storage boxes! Feel so much better now after Spring Cleaning Chapter 1 is over!

Spring Cleaning Chapter 2 will come next week...

Hiya Raha,
Must make a point to go & see the stall jual kebaya at Melaka Mall la.. Tapi kalau set-set macam badan I ni, baik jangan pakai kebaya, nanti kesian orang kena tengok all the spare tyres! Heehee.. You dah kurus, sure cantik pakai kebaya!

You jangan tak tahu I pun guna taktik sama.. barang2 mana yang patut simpan bawah katil in the plastic storage box. Semua ada komplot sorok!

Haha..
