The Theater Room

My boys have been putting off cleaning this room all summer and for good reason.  It is the biggest room, the most used room, and the most work to clean, although I think the kitchen cupboards won't be fun either.

We first spent 1 1/2 hours going through all the DVDs, videos, and Gamecube, WII, and Playstation games.  We made sure the right thing was in the right case and then alphabetized and put back on the shelves.  We shall see if they stay alphabetized for more than a day.

Then we removed all the cushions from the massive couches and vacuumed under them.  Next we moved all the couches (those of you that have been in our theater room will understand the monumental task this is, they are huge and there are lots of them) and vacuumed under them while Trevin cleaned all the baseboards behind all of them.  By this time we were all sweating up a storm because that room is a little on the warm side anyway and we were working hard!.  We put back the couches and the cushions, folded all of the 100 blankets we have in that room and then we quit.  It had been 2 1/2 hours and we were ready for lunch.  So the room is still in a bit of disarray but we will finish dusting, scrubbing and cleaning it on Thursday.  Oh, we also found about 15 pairs of socks and Trevin declared that now he won't need new socks for school this year, which means all of them were probably his.
