So I guess you know it's time to purge some of your kids toys when the pile in their closet hits the ceiling. And I'm not kidding! Plus the "chest" of dress up clothes was over-flowing.
I sat the girls down and we discussed the following characteristics of the dress up clothes that would require them to be put in the "trash" pile.
1.rips, tears, holes
2.too small
3.dirty and stained
(believe me, dress up clothes are not worth spot cleaning or sewing up. if they won't come out clean in one washing their gone. and sewing them...well if there's a rip it probably means it doesn't fit any more.)
THUS I am proud to say a whole trash bag full of dress up crap (at least that's what I think it should be called) is out the door. What a relief! I feel less closterphobic by the minute. =)
Oh and plus the foamie toddler chairs with characters on them. We had 2. They are so huge and take up a ton of room (at least it feels that way in a small apt) So I put them up high in their closet for the past month or so. No one missed it. That means it's ok to throw out! =) Hee, hee! Thank heavens there's a huge trash bin outside.
Now if only I could get Larry to purge the piles of Law Books that are stashed all over our bedroom...Any suggestions!?
