Getting Organized

I shouldn't do anything until I get my closet organized, but that wouldn't be any fun!  I think most mom's like to keep special art projects, and other papers from their kids school.  I have been wondering where to put the "keepers" from my kids school work.  I found these cute boxes at Target.  They are in the office supply and organizing section.  They are from the Liberty of London line.

Each box came with  hanging file folders.  Perfect!  I will have to get a few more folders for each box.

I love all the fun patterns!  They had even more to choose from.  One huge step in getting organized for me, and a really long way to go.
One funny story from one of Belle's "keepers" is .........

At the end of her 1st grade school year she brought home her school journal.  on 3-4-10 this is what she wrote....
"Yesterday my Dad shut my face in the window.  He said it's diner time.  I didn't ckum he didn't no my face was in the window."

Ahhhhh, parenthood!  I will keep this one forever to remind us of why we never won parent of the year.
Here is what happened that night.
We were at the dinner table and everyone was sitting waiting for Belle to come.  We called for her several times and she didn't listen.  She was in her bedroom hollering to her friends a few houses down.  Aaron finally went in to get her.  Aaron reached through her blinds and closed her window.  She was standing behind her blinds and he couldn't see that she had her face pressed up against the screen.  So he did shut her face in the window and pinched it.  I wish I had a picture to go along with her journal.  There was a red pinch line all the way down her face.  Aaron felt so bad.  Then when the journal came home at the end of the year, we got a good laugh.  The journal is going in the cute box!
