The toys are everywhere...

Let me know when you figure it out. Our toy room is a mess and that's going to be the nursery again pretty soon...

So far the stackey-bins and/or a bookshelf with clear rubbermaid containers are in the lead. We have a corner devoted to toys in our living room, and that's what would fit the space the best.

Heck! I wish we could send you our changing table/dresser because Tony's practically potty trained now and doesn't really need it anymore!

We still have all of the furniture - although we were planning to have a garage sale this spring to get rid of all the baby stuff

You might also try The Container Store (www.containerstore.com). They sell all sorts of container-ey

type stuff. (imagine that!)

That's OK. It will fetch probably $50 at the garage sale we're planning (but not 'til after hubby gets his VS).

Had a close-call a few weeks ago! *gasp*

If you have an Ikea near you, take a ride over there. It will probably not surprise anyone that my husband has a MASSIVE lego collection, and that's where I went to get a setup to organize them. You can pretty much pick anything there and it will store them nicely. Pretty bins, containers, or baskets, and they're all cheap

They also have a whole children's section of storage that might help.

No Ikea store anywhere near by (an excuse to go to PA, I suppose). Just checked online, though, and the stuff I can afford is in-store only.

My 'keet is only 1 and we already have this problem. I had no idea he would amass so much stuff in just one year. But he's the only grandchild so far, so the grandparents all went a little overboard for Christmas and his b-day.

I'll probably start doing the rotation thing soon.....he just has too many toys to play with them all right now. I have no idea what I'm going to do with this stuff when he gets too old to play with it. Would love to keep it for potential future 'keets, but no good place to put it in our house.

Well I guess I'll just have to go pick it up and bring it to you

He's 2 years old, why the hell is he still playing with toys??? Push his ass out the door and make him get a job. Kids have it way too easy these days.

Yes, either make him get a job.....

or put all the toys in a big pile in the backyard and light them on fire while he watches. Then tell him if he'd been a good boy and put his toys away, this wouldn't have happened. Kids respond well to that sort of thing. At least mine does.....she thanks me all of the time when we go visit her in lock up

Oh, you meant kids toys ....... nevermind.

I have used a trash-bag to clean Victoria's room before. She was too busy reading the Bible.

She got her toys back once Jesus explained that the 5th commandment was just as important as reading God's word.

I'm not sure how I got a kid like that.

Good thing you didn't have that sale last year!

Good luck with the toys, Mal!

So, have you had the "When you get to heaven, don't bother lookin' for Mommy" talk yet?

Nahh. I'm still trying to figure out how she's gonna take her "Not-So-Immaculate-Conception" story.

My kids have WAYYYYY too much stuff. Aside from selling them off (the toys, not the kids) at a garage sale later this spring, what do y'all do to keep toys neat and organized? The toys are freakin' everywhere!!!!! If I step on one more Lego I'm gonna scream!!

I wanted to get 2-3 of these:

because they would surely do the trick, but at close to $60 a pop that's just more than I want to spend.

Any tips or tricks for making a make-shift something-or-other like that?

I've checked Craigslist, and haven't really found any deals either.

Thanks!!!

Delaney has two of those! But then again what the hell do we care, we're rich!

We could probably fill 5 of them, but we live in 'da hood.
