Cleaning Out
So I am cleaning out the toy room to make room for the new Christmas toys that are going to be coming from Santa and grandparents. My question is how in the world do you decide what to get rid of? I mean my kids seem to play with everything that is not a toy. For example, today I have confiscated (from Ben) a can of hairspray, dishwasher packets, Sissy's dinner plate (which he was using as a hat), makeup, pens, and I am sure other stuff I just can't remember. From Grace I have gotten index cards (all scribbled on and wadded up), mommy's business cards, and makeup. Granted they do play with alot of their toys, I mean they aren't a total waste, but sometimes I wonder? I swear they get the greatest joy out of the weirdest things.

I attend a parent's network lunch at work once a month and we got on this topic (and the holidays). One woman who has a son who just turned 5 involved him in the process. Let him pick the toy(s) to "give away". I was thinking of having Allison do that too...she has SOOO much stuff, pack rat! I think the Christmas break is the perfect time!
