Tackle It Tuesday - A BIG Toy Mess


This week's tackle was unexpected and unwanted! We had family over Friday night for a Thanksgiving dinner. Our house is pretty small, as I've mentioned several times before, so the only place for the kids to really play were in the bedrooms. Yes, very bad idea but it was too cold to throw them outside - like I now wish we would have done. My 4 year old son and his 4 year old nephew tore up his room...that's putting it lightly. The toy box got broken, one of the dowel rods on the toy shelf (similar to this but made of wood) got broken, and the knobs on the dresser were broken off...then the room was trashed with toys. I had checked on them and 15 minutes later went back to find this...
The after... I will be tackling the toy shelf this week. Hopefully, I am able to fix it. It's been around for 7 years through 2 kids and was never broken. To see what other's are tackling, visit 5 Minutes For Mom's Tackle It Tuesday.

Thanks! It does feel great to have it done. Hopefully it will stay cleaned for a couple more days.
