Since I've been feeling GREAT for the last 3 weeks, I took my chances and started a big project...Cleaning out the oh so cluttered house... :) Baby steps at a time!! haha!!
Yesterday the basement got a good cleaning up, it looks so much better now! Almost all the toys are put into boxes with big labels on them. The kids can ask for one box at a time to play with. There are a few toys left on the shelve to play with (for example, woody and Buzz lightyear!) And some toys still need a box (like the little people, but they are hiding right now...) But overall, I am happy with the results... and don't worry, not all the boxes are full, just some of them (like the cars and the barbies... haha!)
Today I started baby-proofing the living room, which meant... taking the Lego out... And since I don't want the Lego in the basement (cause then it would end up EVERYWHERE) I had to put Tjipke's drums in the basement and use our music-room to make another play area for the kids... It turned out ok! The livingroom looks specious again!! :D Maybe today I'll be finishing with the diningroom... we'll see how well the kids and the baby behave!! haha!!

Wow!!!! I'm impressed! Speechless!!!
Thank you!!!
I'm impressed with my kids, who usually have the first box cleaned up before asking for the next!! :D
Weet je nog dat we een paar jaar geleden van die plastic dozen hadden gekocht die ze niet zelf op konden krijgen en dat ze toen gewoon met zijn tweeën probeerden en het toen wel lukte? :-) Je kinderen zijn echt goed, dat ze eerst opruimen voor ze de volgende doos pakken!
Slimme kids he!! :D
Dat zijn diezelfde dozen!! :) Maar ze kunnen nog niet zo hoog bij de dozen komen... te zwaar en te hoog!! :D
So... now some boxes are being donated, and some hidden for other times... :) We'll rotate toys from now on... It's a great system, but Rachel just wants to play with EVERYTHING every 5 mins... :p Not anymore... :)
This Christmas we've donated 3 shoe boxes, one from each child, and with doing this, the kids know that they won't get as many toys! And they loved it! It was very good to see our three kids pick out toys for other kids!
