I had a couple bags of paperwork/notebooks that needed to be looked at and yesterday was the perfect day to get it done.
Luckily, most of it could be recycled or thrown away.
I did come across some cute drawings by the girls that were saved.
I also came across a few notebooks. I collect notebooks kind of like I collect sour cream. If I am out and I think I need a new notebook for some reason, I buy one. Only to find out when I get home that I had a perfectly good notebook that could have been used.
I really buy notebooks because I like to make lists.
So, a couple of the notebooks had old Christmas lists written in them. One had the plans for a girlfriends' baby shower. Another had the descriptions I had written of many things I had sold on Ebay way long ago.
I cleaned out those notebooks--tearing out the used pages. Then keeping what was left to use another time. Let's just hope the next time I am out and think I need a notebook, I remember there are about 5 notebooks(at least) back at home ready to be used.
One notebook I came across had a list of questions/answers that I had asked the girls a few years ago. I can't remember where I found the list of questions. The answers the girls gave me are quite funny.
Here are the questions/answers as I found them written in the notebook:
1. What is something Mom says?
D: Be good, Be kind, Be helpful(I came up with this when the girls went to Kindergarten, saying it to them each day when they got on the bus & I still say it to them)

I just love that I did this with them. And I am so happy I came across that notebook. Their answers make me laugh and smile.
I think I am going to sit down with them and ask these same questions again.
It will be very interesting to see if any of the answers are the same. Or not.
