Toy organization is going okay. Excpet Judah and Jubilee enjoy much more emptying the box of the day and getting in it together.

Of course, can we guess who picks up the toys, finds all the peices and struggles to get them back up in the closet???

Usually they come to me in my 5 minutes of quiet time during the day, in the shower! HA

WE trip over toys daily!!! I have whined and given all the excuses. “I have twins!”. “I am trying to school all day and they have to have something to play with”. Blah, blah, blah. Now I’m getting serious. They don’t play with the toys unless I sit down for 2 hours and get them all organized, otherwise they are in a big pile.

So, my bright idea. I am getting 5 rubbermaids, small ones.  I will label them Monday-Friday and divide them up.  One of the older kids will be responsible each night (ok, probably me! HA) for putting those up and I will get out the next days toys after the babies go to bed and get them organized in the living room where we school and they play.

Do you think it will work? Now, I have to make room in someones closet for the 5 rubbermaids! HA

I don’t read much. I don’t have time and it has to be VERY VERY interesting for me to do it. We got this book at Lifeway last night and I can’t wait to read it all. I read a few pages in the parking lot.  It has tips, recipes, and their family history in it. I am not sure what else. I am going to let Cassia read it when I am done. I like her to understand that life with kids is chaos a lot of the time. But, also understand that you can somewhat try to keep some order. Although we haven’t figured out how to do that yet maybe this book will help! HA
