It is my daughters job to take something from one room and put it into another room, then repeat 100 x’s throughout the day until the entire house is misplaced.
It is my hubby’s job (when asked to help) to put everything in one big pile and stuff it anywhere he can find.
This goes on day after day until everything is so misplaced that I can’t find anything.
It is my job to put everything back in it’s rightful place. That is what I did all day yesterday. I tried to put everything that had little parts back in its place so that it could STAY together and I could actually find things.
I can’t do it anymore though. This weekend I am going to this store and buying a ton of clear plastic storage containers in all different sizes. Then I am going to put all of DD’s toys in those containers. I am going to organize all the containers on the top of her closet and then get down ONE thing at a time for her to play with. That way I do not have an entire house with toys scattered everywhere.
I have a fairly small house and it is already full of toys so this Christmas we are limiting ourselves to buying little E only 3 gifts. She’ll also get stuff from extended family members so that right there will clutter my house enough. The 3 gift idea also came from my sister, she always only buys her kids 3 gifts because that is what Jesus got from the wise men.
Here is what Eva’s 3 will be this year.
- Baby Alive – We got her the Hispanic one that speaks both English and Spanish. She also comes with a little potty. You can feed her baby food and she pees and poops!
- Little Tykes Quad – This will probably be her favorite, I know there will be many tears when it is time to come inside the house after riding this around in the grass but her smile on Christmas morning will be well worth it!
- Doodle Pro – She has a little one that keeps her busy on trips so I think she will like this one has well.
For her stocking so far I have picked up
