Refined Play

Most of yesterday was spent rearranging the play area. Stuart was really wanting the work bench brought in, and Macy's dress up bin was overflowing. I had to bring in more bins from the garage and uncover the work bench. Dress up became one tote and one bin, and another bin for Barbie stuff. Macy wanted me to share the picture of her vanity area with everyone since she decorated it so nicely. The workbench was brought in and instantly became the kitchen on one side for washing dishes and a woodworking area on the other for pounding nails. It has already brought much needed playtime AWAY from the cartoons on tv. I think I'll need to switch out the toys all winter for these babies. I may even try to clean up one side of the garage a little more so that we can play in the playhouse, slide, and ride bikes this winter. Let's see how motivated I get.

Fiona crawled down the hallway yesterday while brother and sister were napping. She was having an entire conversation with the baby she found at the end. I had to take a picture of it. I tried to get a better one of her face, but then she saw me and the conversation ended. It was adorable anyway.

Here is Macy modeling some more dance stuff she received in the mail yesterday. I ordered two lots of brand new stuff off of eBay on Friday for the same price I spent on two pieces of used outfits at the second hand store here. I may just continue my eBay experience. I wasn't too happy with our second hand stores. Used clothing purchases are going to have to be limited to yard sales only.

Please excuse the mess that you see in these pictures. I spent most of yesterday cleaning the house, but as I picked up toys, the kids also thought that they were something to play with, so they literally brought them back out behind me. Fiona is getting to be quite the mess maker too. I did manage to get all of the clothes washed, folded and PUT AWAY yesterday. I even started in on the bedding. Let's hope that I can get to the store and purchase some more bathroom cleaner to get this place finished today. Have a great Tuesday, and don't forget to post some comments for me. I hope more of you are reading this than are posting...I'm kind of enjoying it too much to be shut down.
