I did a little organizing here too...but our big Ikea trip will not happen until the basement gets turned into a playroom (a simple matter of hiring someone to mud the drywall and hang a ceiling; details). But I tell you this: reading your post made me feel like I can hardly wait for that lovely basement day to come!<BR/><BR/>And as for the weather...blech!!! Can you say cabin-fever? We actually played Twister (the whole family) and called it exercise today.

That should help us immensely with our storage problems.<BR/><BR/>Sorry about the weather. I can't even imagine. You should be here. It is about 62 outside and sunny.
