TOYS!

The toys have started to take over the house. They are creeping around into each and every room, making cleaning an hourly battle. So I determined for the uptenth time, "We have TOO many toys!" But this time I decided to DO something about it. So I collected every single toy (well almost all of them) that we have and piled them into the living room. Wow. What a beautiful, clean, non cluttered house it is now! The only problem was the huge mountain of toys now in front of the tv. So for the next few days I went through them, one toy at a time, sorting, throwing away, donating, selling pile, etc. I still have a few boxes to go through but what a difference it's made. There's less to clean up and we know where everything is! So keeping the toys under control is going to be a major goal around here!

This is a toy we have had since Boston was very small. I bought it at a garage sale and it's been one of the best toys we have. Asher and Dallas will sit and play with this for 30+ minutes and play beautifully together. Sharing, laughing and having a blast. It's these kinds of toys that are worth their weight in gold! And it's also so great to see Dallas and Asher bonding in this way. For so long Boston was the one that really took to Asher, but since he's been in school this year I've noticed a bond forming betweent these two and it's so precious!
