On A Mission!!

A Trash Mission that is!

Occasionally I get the urge to start throwing things away! My children's toys have been on the agenda for quite sometime now!

Seriously have been driving me crazy!!

In part because despite my best efforts in trying to teach them to pick up after themselves.... truth be told, I do a lot of it myself. And I am so sick of picking up McDonald's junk, and the literal hundreds of small figurine dolls and dollhouse furniture that Gracie dumps numerous times a day. Yes... I do make her help me pick it up. But she is one of those that as soon as she sees something she's like, "Oh Yeah!! I forgot about you!" and then just wants to start playing with it again. So it's sit there with her for 45 min coaxing her to pick it all up 10 x a day or do it a couple of times and pick it up the rest!

Well, my plan was to go through their rooms and the playroom with a trash bag during Vacation Bible School last week, but I ended up spending most of my time training and it didn't happen.

The problem that that presents for this week is that I have to clean them out with them around. And in order to do that... it's turns into this secret mission!!

Literally for the past two days as soon as I break out the trash bags you can see them perk up and get panic struck faces! A few items were rescued from the trash bag, but for the most part I would very sneakily cram stuff in them while they weren't looking and make a mad dash downstairs to the big trash can in the garage.

Once it's gone it's gone!!

I have managed to get through Cooper's room yesterday with only 1 full trash bag. I did Gracie's room today and that was 2 1/2 trash bags!! Tomorrow... Play room!!

I'm seriously looking forward to it! It's refreshing!

So sorry Mr. Trash Man! My garbage will be extra heavy on Monday, but to some they may feel there's treasure in there so....

Have a good day everyone!
