Is it possible for toys to mate and reproduce? Because I don’t remember buying all this STUFF.  We used to have space in our family room and now every surface is covered with some variation of toy. Our windows are even covered with gel stickers – no surface is safe.

The bigger question is: who is at fault?  Addie? Sure she leaves her giant magnifying glass in the middle of the floor and her markers have a hard time staying in their bowl, but the real problem is having this many toys in the first place. And that is MY fault.

I’m a sucker.  I see something that looks fun and it comes home with us. I’m just a big kid.  Addison can walk through a toy store with me at her heels saying, “this looks fun…how about this…ooooh, this one is pretty” and she just waves her little hand, purses her lips and says in her adorable little voice, “no, no, no.”  When she DOES want something I am so pumped that it comes home and adds to the melee that is our home.

Today, Addie and I are cleaning up! I think its time for some underprivileged kids to get some very fun gifts.
