One of the big stresses on Michelle's preParis to-do list was to clean out the garage. I also suffer from recurring garage pile-ups so I could empathize with her situation and just had to offer to help.
I arrived at 9:15am, armed with a big drink for Michelle, a big cup of ice and some water for me, and my iPod and player so we could have good music to help us along.
This is our early morning (and frightening for me) self-portrait before we got dirty.
Michelle listed this couch on KSL the night before and had already received a couple calls about it by the time we started.
We were so happy when someone came to pick it up within the first half hour of our garage assault, because getting rid of such a space-hogging item made us feel like we'd made progress already.
We broke for lunch around 1:00pm and were so happy to replenish ourselves with these tasty sandwiches on homemade bread. It felt risky to sit down at that point, because there's always a risk of losing momentum.
Whitney was with Robyn's kids for the day, but Landon played with Max & Lucas.
I think I impressed Michelle with my dormant baton twirling skills, she had no idea I could twirl.
We had several piles of stuff going, but the largest pile was this D.I. pile.
We loaded up my car with stuff to give to Robyn, a few dumpster items and some recycling as well.
Michelle's car was loaded too with D.I. offerings and stuff to take to Kid-to-Kid.
We were sweaty messes by the end of the day, but were very pleased to be done with such a huge project by 4:20. Eight hours isn't too shabby for such a job!
