How many is too many?

We knew that once Santa brought presents, we would have to purge and merge the new toys with the older ones. To my delight, World Market was having a huge furniture sale and we got a new bookcase for Owen's room that matches his current bookcase. The old bookcase houses all his books, but the new one went in the "toy corner" of his room. We added a few bins and now it looks much better, and is temporarily organized.


If you have a separate room for play, consider yourself lucky. We don't and won't until the market turns around. For now, Owen must play and live in the same space. We do have toys in the den, but if you know me at all, you know I prefer things picked up and put away. Not so easy when you have a toddler who can destroy a room in a few short minutes. Bonus points if you can find Crash and Milo in the mix. Double points if you can tell which one is which!
