Bright Idea #1....

As I sit here this morning with my coffee and watch the temp's slowly rise up into the lower 90's before 10am,yeah you heard that right, I have to figure out how to keep the boys entertained today while something around this house gets done.

So bright idea #1...clean the basement...it is cool down there and it really needs to be done.

See we have this room with carpeting and everything, problem is that the kids have toys everywhere....broken toys, mix matched toys, good toys that don't get played with and toys that would get played with if they could find them.

So we are going to get two huge garbage can...can #1 is going to be broken, crappy toys that no one would want to play with or mixed matched toys that you can't play with cuz you don't have something else. Can #2 will be good toys, these are toys that are good and you want to keep them or good toys that they won't play with and are going to goodwill.

I know just what your saying...."Paul my boy! You are a genius, dammit that sounds like a great plan and seriously...what can go wrong" I'll let you know just how great my plan is later today.



****UPDATE*****
well it went as well as I could have hoped....they cleaned separating the good toys from the broken ones until about 3:30 this afternoon....at which point I told them to go play. They had made a dent in the toys....all I can say is CHRIST THERE ARE A LOT OF TOYS.

Tomarrow is another day of clean up...the will be Jens job now for the rest of the week....yeah she'll be happy about that!

Having a plan is always a good idea, but do your boys really understand the outcome you're striving for? Can't wait to hear how it all works out. Don't forget about having a plan B as a backup!!!! Hit that basement with determination and drive.
Love, Mom

Cleaning is one thing,,,ORGANIZATION is whats needed in this house, we are in desperate need of some sort of shelving/bin contraption in the playroom, and ALL the bedrooms!! They will play with them if they are easily accessable and will be more will clean up afterward when everything has its place.
