Bustin' Out!

It's always crazy around here and now with less than 14 hours to go before William gets his casts cut off, it will undoubtedly get only crazier! I can't wait for him to bust out of those plaster insane asylums. The poor guy has been so good about wearing them and being so patient and tolerant, but I know once he's set free, he'll be a maniac.

This week, he has discovered the Little People due to the fact that he can't really motor around, so he is forced to sit and play. We had a huge tub of the darned toys and I dragged them out late last week for the kids to explore. You'd have thought we got all new stuff! Even the older two were engaged and setting up the town and zoo and castle components. All four of the kids were playing today and they were actually getting along momentarily while creating a fort and who knows what all.

I managed to rearrange the twins' room today due to the fact that they have been playing with the blinds and messing them up and also pulling things off the wall. They are now both against the wall without anything on it and away from the windows. We had stashed the cords to the blinds up high, so that wasn't the danger, but they were playing and looking out the blinds during nap times and not sleeping. It was completely annoying.

From rearranging their room, I went to organizing our swim gear (which you would be surprised, but it literally takes up a whole storage unit), to organizing the toy room (incorporating the Little People), cleaning out the changing table, cleaning bathrooms and doing laundry. I am beat.

I am a little depressed about the toy room. After the garage sale last month, I felt really good about how it looked. Kind of cleaned out and uncluttered. Now that I've had to find homes for the Little People, I'm thinking what else should I purge? It's crazy out of control in there and the more there is, the more they get out and I have to clean up (when I can't talk their older sisters into helping or doing it for me).

What's even more depressing is that I've done a lot of work today and tomorrow, it will all get undone. C'est la vie! I guess it's job security that there is never an end in sight to the work that needs to be done.
