REALLY, where should i start???

last night, i attempted to clean out & clean up the boys' playroom. i got rid of 2 trash bags and i box worth to give away. still working on it...........
ok, i am not going back to edit this photo (if anyone who is on blogger, you know what a pain it is to rearrange pics). just turn your head to the side.
brandon & bryan were NOT helping. they kept digging out the things i was trying to get rid of. plus, then they started to play with the things i was organizing. arghhhhhhh!!!!

do you think we have enough thomas and friends trains????
pretzel containers from costco make for great toy storage!
my attempt is to clear out some stuff so they can open up their new toys---still in the package!! we've been told our playroom looks like a toy store! well, off to try to clean up some more!

LOL Ivy! I have 3 kids and I have to clean up the toy room when they are not around otherwise it would be "o Mom, we need that...don't give that away"....

WOW, good luck. I decided to keep some plastic toys that I could disinfect in a storage container for when I have little ones over. They are baby toys, but Jack keeps finding the box and dragging everything out. Ugh

OMG Ivy! If our kids got together, they would over-run toys 'r' us and create their own toy empire! Especially with all the Thomas and Friend Trains....they would own that too! Good luck on all your cleaning...it will be a great feeling once you're all finished!!

So funny, I know what you mean about container loads of toys, I have a day care & the toys I accumulate sometimes is over whelming, I start purging & sending some of the toys home with the kids!! My daughter still has some of her "toys" saved in containers & she is now 21!!!

Oh, the joys of little boys!
I remember those days, they seem like yesterday. Trust me, Ivy,these are the days you will look back on and remember fondly. Do what you can to keep things tidy and manageable, but don't stress over it, before you know it this moment will be done and you will be on to the next challenge.
Gotta love those sweet, mischievious little boy grins!
