The Bears Room

This week I have been working on The Bears room. And we are ALMOST DONE! Surprisingly he pitched stuff on his own. This is my itch to pitch this week so no pictures will be shown YET. After being in his room for 3 days a little area each day, So far I realize almost every toy he has fits in his bins. He still has a toy box. I hate to think of getting rid of it. Maybe thats part of the baby in him I want to not lose. Hes only 6. But at 6, baby snoopy is not his fav decor. And Seriously I put 8 toys back in that toybox. Just to keep it in there. Even though he uses it more of a nightstand now. He has a alarm clock on it. But Im seeing the change in the room that is showing my, my last baby is growing up. Theres a bookshelf in there, with actual books on it that are not plastic chewy books. Theres a desk, so he can sit and read or draw. HE CAN READ! I think soon, I will have to give up the toy box, and just keep the memory of my last baby, as a baby.

Toys Toys and More Toys

Don't get me wrong. My kids don't own the latest and greatest. I don't feel like(or have the funds to) pay 60 plus bucks for a toy I KNOW wont last. Or doesn't work like the commercial says. But my kids own a LOT of toys. Army Men Galore, Matchbox cars, Ben10, Dinosaurs.. I mean you get the point. Lots of little things. They don't have a ton of space. I had to put their toy bins into their closets. And no.. No walk in or big closets here either. So far I have done everything I can to save space. Now its time to do more. Since for the most part, If army men come out, they drag out both of their bins full. Its time to put them ALL into a container. Same with Matchbox. wIth the knowledge they have THEIR favorite cars, I will probably allow them to keep those few favs in their rooms. But I am clearing a spot in the garage for bins. And I can label each and when they want 1. They can get the bin and HOPEFULLY, this will make clean up easier also. We will see if they will go along with combining the mass amount of things long separated so they each have their own.
