ToTaL Toy DeToX!!!!!

i decided it was about time we have a total toy detox in our house! we have sooooo many toys and it was time to get rid of some. i was even able to get the boys on board because i told them there would be NO MORE ROOM for new toys unless we get rid of some old toys!! with christmas and birthdays coming up, this was a huge motivator!!
THE PLAN: take each room one at a time....dump ALL the toys from that room into one BIG pile then separate into 3 smaller piles....KEEP, THROW AWAY, GIVE AWAY.....

the garage
living room
boys room.
as you can see, we had a pretty big project here! but it went great. we were able to throw away tons of trash/broken old toys and give away a bunch of stuff too. the boys were happy to help and their weren't any tear shed over lost toys (which was actually a surprise to me.) it feels great to clean out and de-clutter....the only down side is this will only last for another month before new toys come. oh well, we have fun and life is good!! :)

As long as you kept the Legos, I think that's a great idea :-)
