Weekend change of plans

We have decided against going anywhere.  We were going (up until last night) to spend the day in the Black Forest, but with our week of paying off 4!! different bills, it's just not in our budget this weekend to spend the night anywhere.  That's okay though.  There are plenty of things to do around here.  We're just really happy and excited to have those 4 bills paid off and that money will be saved for future trips and our move next summer.
It's supposed to be a nice cool weekend, so we will most likely be spending it outdoors.  I am hoping to purge our storage room though.  I need to organize it into, donate, trash, and movers repack.  We have everything in totes right now, but we didn't "pack" the items for long distance moving and the movers will wrap up the outside of the tote and call it good.  We would have lots and lots of things broken, so I need to make a pile and label the totes that need repacked. 
I think with the nice fall weather it makes for a perfect "fall cleanup" day.  And what better timing.  Bulk trash pickup is Monday morning!  I just need to convince Nick now is the time.  I think I have the perfect excuse.  With Christmas coming up, Nick wants to buy Xander one of these ride on toys.  I'm not convinced yet, but he seems pretty determined.  I think we should wait until we move.
So, with our change in plans, hopefully there will be a few hours spend outdoors on a nature walk, then the rest of our my time purging and cleaning.  So far we already have 5 totes of stuff to donate, just taking up precious space in our small storage room.
 
Have a great day!
