The Great Toy Clean-out is Finished!

The girls rooms are clean! They sparkle! You can find things! It only took two days (this includes going through clothes to see what they have outgrown). There must have been 7 grocery bags of stuff we took out of their rooms – clothes to give away, papers and broken toys to be thown out. Ugh – it is amazing how much they collect in six months.

It’s not like we buy tons of stuff for them. We spend $50 per child at birthday’s, and a little over $100 at Christmas on each girl. Then throughout the year we may buy a couple of things. However there are Grandparents! But still, how do they get so much stuff into their rooms? Things must multiply under the beds!

Some of the toys and clothing we will give to friends, and we may have a bag or two that will go to a Goodwill Store (tax deduction!).

The good news is that now they should be able to find things – like socks which they said they did not have enough of but now their drawers are overflowing since we found the missing pairs.

Now we are good for another 6 months. I wonder what amazing things we will find next time?
