Today it was 50+ degrees outside a welcome warmup, but it will be short lived from what I hear.  Since the garage had a chance to warm up, I decided to do something that was much overdue…put the holiday decorations back into the garage attic. 

No they were not still up, they were just piled up ( the Queens fault on that, she couldn’t get them disassembled ), some still together in the garage, along with a bunch of unbroken down boxes.  Needless to say there was not much room in there, we were barely getting one car into the 2 car garage.

I spent about 1 hour in there unclipping all the wire ties that were holding the Christmas decorations together ( since I put them together only I seem to be able to tear some of them down) and trying to figure out how to repack the boxes back into the attic.  Nothing was going back in the way it came out, I know the Queen bought a few more outside decorations this past year but not so many that it would make this the task it was turning out to be.  I finally got what I thought was everything back up there when I uncovered 2 boxes that are unsually on the bottom of all the others. ( DOH!! ) I know what you are thinking, but no, I didn’t unpack everything and start over, they are staying down till Halloween, I will find a place for them on the ground.

After putting (most) everything away and breaking down the boxes to toss in the garbage, we can now get one of the cars in there without dinging the doors when we get in and out.

If I can only get the Queen to come over to my minimalist way of Holiday decorating this would not be necessary anymore.  Only 7 more months till I start this all over again.
