Dishes dishes dishes........HELP ME!!!




This is what I just put in storage:
1 knife
9 big spoons
13 small spoons
15 forks
13 bowls
2 small plates
2 tiny plates
18 large plates
7 glasses

This is what I kept:
12 bowls
14 glasses
10 small plates
10 big plates
6 knifes
10 forks
10 small spoons
5 big spoons

Wow!! I nearly took away double what we had, and we still probably have too much.

In case you want the math this adds up to:
28 large plates
25 bowls
21 glasses
14 small plates
25 forks
7 knives
14 big spoons
23 small spoons

We spent the entire day washing all the dishes, cleaning the table, cleaning out the fridge, and sweeping the floors. It was bad...we had so many dishes and pots and pans that we could just lose them and not miss them. We found random dishes everywhere. Please note...our house isnt smelly or dirty, but we do like to eat in our bedroom and the living room. We aren't good picker uppers. This will change, and only because it wont be possible now to do that. We wont have enough. This is what we are left with.

Holly,

This is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!

I. am. speechless. LOL.

Wonderful, outstanding, amazing job.

Wait, do we have the same plates and bowls? :-)

You know....I think we DO have the same plates. I noticed that already, but decided to let you figure that one out yourself. I have already figured out the socks and the lamp.

You're quick!

Thanks for the kudos. My kids were astounded that we were putting so much up..they think we won't have enough dishes now. Little do they know..

Are they white corelle dishes? And, I think I recognize the light blue cups, too. Hey, do you shop at walmart??? :-)

yep...corelle. I have a love/hate relationship with these things. They are supposedly chip/break resistant but when they fall on my tile, they shatter! EVERYWHERE! Tiny shards all over the place.
