Yes, Polly Pockets, Game pieces, puzzle pieces, Monopoly cars and Legos on the floor (Legos are PARTICULARLY painful in the middle of the night when found by bare feet!) but my absolute push-me-over-the-edge "thing that got everywhere" were those little pink and blue "Game of Life" pieces that represent children. They're supposed to be placed in the little game piece car. I found one a week on average after my children had a rainy day Life game, and when we moved bedrooms around I think I found one a day for about another week! I THOUGHT there were a finite number included with the game, but now I'm starting to wonder if those little pink and blue pieces grew up and made MORE pink and blue pieces. . . Hmmmm. . .

Perhaps it's time to discuss what happens when the pink and blue pieces get together unsupervised!

HATE THAT "GAME OF LIFE" the vaccum has sucked up millions of people! They must reproduce !!! I swear!! Just as soon as I think they are all back in the box or car or where ever they came from ...I hear another one clickin in the vaccum...tic tic tic...then the kids want to save them (we have 1 of those canister deals) YIKES!!!
I hate the car deals too !! Ouch!! Maybe there should be a plastic magnet invented!!! I would pay any amount of $$$ for it! Or at least a detector- Oh yeah that's my FEET!!! hehe ; )

enjoy the journey!

Quote As for markers...how about couch cushions? I'll have to try the baby wipes on that! I have a rug with marker on it too that I will have to try removing with babywipes!


I don't know about the baby wipes but I do know that alcohol works great. A little alcohol on a cloth.

I would have to say it would be those little "Light Bright" pegs! I know I drove my mom crazy leaving them all over the place, and now my kids are getting me back by leaving them all over the place.

Okay, you got me! I had completely erased the Lite Brite pegs from my memory -- I'm sure as a defense mechanism. Last year I cleaned closets and unbeknownst (which is most likely NOT how you spell that) to my children I eliminated all Lite Brites from the house. So far, no one has noticed, and for me, NO MORE pegs!!

Eliminating lite brights!! Ours just went to goodwill last weekend. Lil Sour wondered how we could actually give away something Santa brought. My explanation was that I talked to him and he already had a buyer after we dropped it off.

Quote I decided there was no real need for a formal dining room when I had 3 children under 5. So I got rid of the crappy dining set I had and made the dining room into a "playroom".


We did the same thing why have a formal dining room with so many kids? This also keeps the toys centralized and ARE NOT to be spread throughout the house! Father of 4 soon to be 5 Ages 6 and under.

We did that with our formal living room. Except its mom and dads toys. No furniture in there, but we have a treadmill, weight bench, skier, stepper, tv for exersise videos....the shelves hold all my husbands die cast cars he collects.

I didnt want to have to buy a furniture set that I would be consistently telling everyone to get off.
