For every time I heard myself say,
"clean up the {various toy }".
I could take all of you on a luxury vacation!
As happy as I am that the kids play, play, play instead of watch, watch, watch, it seems like I am a broken record asking them to clean it up when they are done. The family rule has always been:
Clean up the first toy/game before you get out the next one.
Well, building huge, elaborate figures out of Tinker Toys or Lincoln Logs is great fun, but destroying them and cleaning them up seem to be an impossible task to a couple of 5 year olds. It seems to be the phase of the season. This will pass, and who knows what will be next. Sometimes it just feels better to vent on my blog. Thanks for listening.
