I have no idea what I'm blogging about today. I find all these pictures in my files and I have no idea why I take them or what to do with them. So, here I go, I'll be rambling.
What I want to know is am I am not the only mama on the planet who is constantly rotating, changing, putting away, setting up and organizing kid toys? I hope I'm not. I know kids play so much better with not too may toys out and about and when the toys are presented in a non jumbled way, but I sort of take it to the extreme. I swear the toy set up at the beginning of the week doesn't always look like the toy organization by the end of the week. I have four shelves to kid tables and oodles of wooden boxes and baskets and I constantly rotate. And then I get excited about my new set up and take a picture? I'm really quite ridiculous. I've shared some playsets and I could go through the archives and show you more, but trust me, I'm just silly.
Case in point...
In one week, this very shelf went from something similar to a grocery store type like this...
to a puzzle center.
To misc. city.
Guaranteed it will be something different by mid week. And then I get excited about this new bamboo set of silverware. It cost just a few bucks, a perfect play utensil set (I sanded it down some after this pic). I have no idea why I took a picture of it, but here it is (along from the pottery I made when I took a class...I am a complete failure at pottery making).
So then I take a picture of the shelf I put them on? I've really lost it. I could go on and on about my crazy tactics...
But, what really doesn't seem crazy at all is taking pictures of the kids enjoying what I create for them. I just love love love watching them play. I could sit for hours watching them.
I told you that was rambling. And off I go to re-organize....
That looks like a great play area, and it's so smart to rotate the toys. It's wonderful that you enjoy playing with your children and have lots of photos to remember this time - it goes fast (bet you haven't heard that one, haha). Keep on snapping!
ReplyDeleteIt's so fun to see them playing! I totally get how you could watch it for hours. I think you should keep taking photos of whatever you feel compelled to shoot. Better to have too many memories than not enough :)
ReplyDeleteI love how "Bob the builder" is sitting at the table. Looks *super comfy*!
