The legend of the toy trolls

The toy-rotating method. Today is one of those days that I am so thankful for it. As I went through all the current toys in the toy room to sort, throw away and put in a give-away box there was just such and overwhelming sense that yes, I, Amy Maiberger, have victory over the toys!!!! You see, long ago there were toy trolls that lived in our house, scattering toys everywhere overnight as we slept. We found that like rodents they liked to hide in piles of toys. But then one day, we took away their piles. And they had no place to hide....they were vulnerable and out in the open. We kicked them out the door as we organized all the toys into five different large rubbermaid tubs. And then once every 2 months or so, out comes a new tub and into that tub go all the current toys. I LOVE IT!! And the joy on the little faces as they play with toys they had forgotten about just makes it all worth the effort. And the joy in mom's heart as she gets to sneakily put away, throw away, or give away that toy that for the last 2 months has been driving her NUTS is just very abundant.
