We don't have a large house, but what IS large in our house is the amount of CRAP we have accumulated. Between my craft stuff, Chad's outdoor stuff and the Boy's toys we are absolutely overloaded with......STUFF. I am editing my language for this post. Chad is working on finishing the basement, so of course, the massive amount of .....stuff can just be spread a little thinner.
I helped the boys clean their rooms, the family room and living room this afternoon and I kept a Reams bag by my side, to secretly throw things out. Cameron caught sight of it and of course cried like I was going to take away his most prized possessions. He knew I was mad enough, he stopped crying and let me do my thing. When we got to the toys in the basement, I came across the Little People Garage that is massive in size, but has provided a much smaller amount of entertainment the last couple of years. I put it in the DI pile---but lo and behold, they played with that stinking thing for an hour---and had the best time. GGGGGGRRRRRR!!!!! It's still in the DI pile.
When we move the boys downstairs I will be banishing all 3 men from my house while I purge toys!! Chad is every bit as bad as the 3 and 5 year olds on wanting to keep things FOREVER.
When you are done you can come purge my house, I'm sure it's worse than yours. We just keep moving stuff from home to home, you'd think we would be better purgers after all our moves.
ReplyDeleteI won't lie....you do have a lot of crap! But how much do we love and appreciate it when Chad can outfit the whole family with everything that he has??? LOVE IT!! PS: I'm so excited!!
