Luke loves to cuddle and Sierra loved him falling asleep on her chest. She's has such a cute way with babies. They love her.

I
haven't forgotten you. I will post pictures tomorrow when there's more
light. I can tell you now what we do. I have a loft and it's the toy
room. I have zones/areas for the different things they like first I have
a book shelf and before they go to bed my 5 year old puts them all back
on the shelf. I don't care if it looks great and if he just throws them
in there. They are where the are supposed to be and not on the floor.
Then we have a desk for any, art, homework, projects they want to do. It
has lots of drawers and they put their things in them. So my 7 year old
throws everything in drawers and makes it the desk look clean. Again I
don't care if all the drawers are full of junk as long as the desk gets
cleared of. Then once a month I just throw out the junk. They have a
bench to read on and play video games on. Then I have a place in a
corner for all the big toy buildings that don't fit in the toy box.
Again I don't care if they look perfect but the kids know where to put
them when they clean up. The toy box only has enough toys to close the
lid. When it starts to over flow I grab a moving box and fill it with
toys and put the box in the basement. It's a great way to rotate toys
but not have to go through them. Having fewer toys for them to find what
they want and having fewer choices helps them find what they want and
they don't have to throw everything out to find what they need. Every
few months I bring the box back in and it's like Christmas. then I fill
it with toys they're tired of. I have a hutch I keep the T.v. game
systems, games and controllers. Again I don't care if this hutch stays
perfect as long as all the games and controllers get thrown in the
hutch. We close the doors and drawers and it keeps everything right
there. This makes for a 5 min clean up. So when I say put all the
buildings back or put the books away they know where they go. Does that
help? We also keep games up on a shelf in the closet.So only one game
comes out at a time. Again I don't care if the game is put back perfect
as long as it gets in the box.
