Organizing

I've been trying to organize our house lately. Put together a book for M & L of all the paperwork. Lots of paperwork in only 3 months. I keep everything!

Toys were the next to work on. This is what we had. I loved it with just Isabel but with 3 kids it just wasn't working. You can maybe see that buckets are missing. They are also used as toys. I have a pic of Isabel and M carrying L in one of them.

So I saw this great bench at T@rget recently and after discussing it with Dave we agreed to get it. He basically just said whatever. The extra seating is a bonus since we only have a couch. Not that the bench is that cozy but the kids love sitting on it. Since I can't wait and have to put things together right away Isabel & L helped me put it together. Yes, that is helping. I gave them the styrofoam and let them have fun. Isabel showed L the joys of putting snow on mommy's head. Great fun!


And the lovely finished product. And so far it's helping clean up be so much easier. Everyone grabs a basket and fills it up.
And I already sold the old one on craigs list to help pay for the bench.
