Vacations

Chaos.....
There is no other way to describe these past 2 weeks. We have taken a vacation from school and have done a great deal of traveling. Each place visited has fowarded a new carload of gifts which now need a place in the playroom. Not to mention the fact that the room was already overcrowded with toys, school books and supplies, two computers, cubbies, a table that seats 4 comfortably, and a dresser converted into a bookshelf. This room is a disaster!!!!! Why is it all in one room you ask. Well, it just seems to work that way. No matter what that room looks like at the end of the day, I can shut the door and ignore the mess as long as the rest of the house looks the way I want it. However, to my great dismay, the chaos seems to be oozing into other rooms of the house. Apparently the girls dont like to play in a room that has no room. So they bring their toys out into the living room, and the den, and the kitchen, and the washroom, and the weirdest place of all....the bathroom. WHAT????? I am going off the deep end. I like order and clean fresh houses and today my house is not to my liking. I need my sanity back! I need a bigger playroom or maybe less toys or maybe some organization to this chaos! Maybe I just need a vacation from my vacation. Things are out of order because there is no order. I think it is time to go back to the school schedule....Kids do much better when life is under control. Its time to get back to the controlled chaos we are used to.

Callie likes to take toys into the bathroom. I think it's gross because it's the BATHROOM but she doesn't seem to think so. I'm trying to stop that habit with her and trying to keep it from forming with Avery. If you find a solution, let me know!
