wow...matter of minutes! maybe my kids don't do this cause they know if i have to clean up their room they owe me 10 tokens, and tokens around the house are gold! soooo, they are pretty good at playing with stuff (and not EVERYTHING at once) and when i say they have 5 minutes to clean up, they do and it usually takes less than two! the extra kids are cute, but oh my!Monday, March 3, 2008

I still remember you and the vacuuming up of the toys! That was a good one! I did make my kids take some stuff to DI once that they didn't clean up. Generally that doesn't happen twice, so my kids are pretty good about cleaning up. Now If only Lowell would join the bandwagon.
