...we had the Newman side of the family Christmas.
Whooooooo-weeeeee.
Now that all the Christmas gift exchanges are through (except a few little treats from Mama here and there for the 12 Days of Christmas), we are left with what comes AFTER: The house is totally trashed right about now and I am feeling the overwhelming urge to purge, purge, purge (this, after the children already chose three toys each to donate to Salvation Army BEFORE Christmas-a tradition of ours.)
Nobody stop by unexpectedly in the next day or two. Or do, but I can't guarantee you a place to walk ;-)
Oh I like that tradition... Need to purge here too, but I would like to have a better toy keeping system set up first. (Which makes it sound like we're drowning in them, but from what I've observed of others we've visited, we only have about 1/3 of what seems to be "normal".)
ReplyDeleteI have a system, the kids dumped all the fabric cubes out while I was nursing.
ReplyDeleteOh well, I'm on the same page here.
You made me feel better, like I am not the only one mustering up courage to face toy land this month.
Bonnie- the same is true with us. We have far less on the toy scale than most people. I guess it is just that we have a lower tolerance, must be.
ReplyDeletePS. I will get over to your blog to comment on your handmade goodness. Soon. But first I must make a path.
Stephanie- the best laid plans. And then, fabric cubes! ha!
