Link Love: Toys Are Taking Over Edition!

Toys are taking over my life. They are everywhere, underfoot, in places that don’t make sense…that picture above? Those are my daughter’s toys on top of the entertainment center, just chillin’. Eerily staring in a vacant sort of way…

And it seems like when we get rid of a batch of toys, more come in and take their place. How does this happen?

Remember the baby phase? Remember when they had little teething rings and that’s all you had to worry about?

*all parents nod in agreement*

Some paring down is in order…since it is supposed to pour buckets of rain this weekend, you know what I’ll be doing

Here are the posts I got a kick out of this week:

We have enough toys to start our own toy store I think. I am serious, I think we could give Toys R Us a run for their money. Having three under the age of six and being the only grandkids on either side, we just get bombarded by them. Selling on Craigslist is definitely in our future.

I feel that way with all the naked dolls who stare at me every time I enter my daughter’s room. Thanks for the mention.

I remember the 200 piece food set our friends gave us for my little girl’s 2nd birthday. I cleaned them up too many times to count and found them in the most unlikely of places.

We don’t have kids yet, but our dog has a ton of toys (so many we told his “grandparents” not to buy any this year). Thanks for including me and good luck with the clean up.

  Yeah, I’ve heard dog toys can multiply pretty quickly
