So since we moved I have been meaning to go through all the boys' schoolwork that I have been saving and discarding much of it, keeping only the minimum in order to save storage space. So all the workbooks that I have been saving, I went through and tore out pages that show an overall view of the work that was done for that subject. Then I threw out the rest of the workbook. It's amazing how much space is left over ! Of course I couldn't part with the drawings, stories, book reports and those kinds of "personal things". It was enough to get rid of the majority of the math and language workbooks. Whew... I feel so much better.
The next job to tackle will be the rummage sale stuff. The books will go to a local bookstore that buys used books or Half Price books and the clothing will go to a local children's clothing resale shop. The broken toys will go to the landfill :), and the rest will be saved for the summer rummage sales. BIG JOB that I am not looking forward to, but will breathe easier when I step into the garage once it's done.
