so today i'm feeling a little O.C.D

i have the organizing bug this week...i have been in the kid's rooms, rearranging...addie received a dora the explorer house for her birthday...and she got a growing family doll house for christmas...so since her birthday, i have not been able to sleep at night (maybe that's a little dramatic) because dora did not live next door to the growing family....so...a few days ago, i got in there and i rearranged! there is limited space when two gals share a room...i'm actually pretty good at getting rid of toys that are broken or that they just don't play with any more...i don't want them to be monsters...we buy them things for their birthdays and christmas...and then only occasionally throughout the year...but it surprises me at how much stuff they accumulate...we have been blessed with wonderful friends and family, so they rack up at their birthday parties...so, alot gets passed on...eli cracks me up because whenever he gets something he asks if it came from the thrift store! haha! he thinks that is the only place i shop! it works out good, though...i buy practically brand new things that some other kid got tired of...for dirt...and then when my kids get tired of it, i return it to the thrift store...viola! if you have never been to christ's chapel in ringgold, you must go...i bought addie a pair of tevas there for .50 cents! they have dress up stuff and toys and the price is everything you can stick in a bag for a dollar! i love that place! so, back to the dora/growing family house problem...i rearranged and now they are happily living as next door neighbors....ahhhhhh...now that feels better:) (of course i put all of the play food in the same basket...and all the dress up stuff in an under the bed container (that the kids haven't discovered yet !) and put all the baby doll stuff in a basket...of course they are all mixed up now...oh well...it was fun while it lasted!
