We are not a tidy family. I have tried to be but is it is a constant battle. My sister was always tidier than me. The other day when nattering on the phone to her I was complaining about the diabolical state of the boy’s bedroom.
This was her response:
“There is definitely a messy gene in our family, if I can see the any part of the floor in the kids room I think it is an achievement, and if it was ever tidy I would assume there were preparing me for seriously bad news – on the line of permanent expulsion from school!”
I was slightly comforted that my tidier sister faced a similar battle; but at the same time, I was inspired to beat it.
So, I decided to take arms against a sea of toys and by controlling – end their power!
The problem is, they have great toys! They love lego (one is playing with lego in the living room as I type), I prefer the Kapla. I understand how they end up playing instead of organizing when I ask them to battle the chaos.
So here is my construction from their toys!
