I’ve decided that my kids have too many toys. I went through the three rooms we spend time in and gathered all the toys in a central location. Hopefully, it won’t take me all day to put the little pieces with the big pieces and match everything up. And when it’s all said and done, goodwill here we come. I’ve pretty much decided that we’re going to keep a few of the “big” toys, and chunk the rest now that spring is coming. I plan on keeping them outside as much as humanly possible as the weather gets warmer. I’m also giving consideration to letting Alannah take my old (unused) bookcase and turning it into a barbie townhouse of monumental scale. Paint the walls, carpet the floors (with carpet samples) the works. It will be a good art project for her if nothing else. She wants to try her hand at decorating, so better to do it for barbie and friends than screw up Mom’s white walls and beige carpet.
