Every toy he has fits in it, a drawer for each type of toy. I hope I NEVER have to pick up his room or take away his toys for not cleaning his room. Ever. Never.
I LOVE it!!! But how many frogs is he allowed to have in there? My kids have to leave their frogs outside :)

Sometimes agoraphobia is a gift. Be kind to yourself, stay home without guilt, and do something you love.

I went through another 20 boxes of junk and came away with 12 boxes of trash, 3 boxes of office supplies, 2 boxes of paperwork, and 3 boxes of toys and misc that we need to get ready for yardsale or safekeeping. Woohoo to not buying any more office supplies for a while!

The family is bored with scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast, so I looked up the recipe for "Kaiser Schmarrn" which my mother makes when I visit. I made it for my family and they loved it. I had all the ingredients, most of them were even homegrown or we got them for free, through barter.

Next I wll pick weeds and generally clean another area of our property and use the stuff to feed my goats, chickens and the rabbit.

We took in a neighborhood kid's 4 adult chickens. A neighbor of hers had reported her to Animal control, because she was letting her chickens roam free in her yard. She was told she needed to cage them and she didn't want to do that. So we told her we would take them and she can come and visit them. I already got two eggs from them this morning. Not that we really need any more eggs. But it is nice to help the little girl out.

I planted a boatload of okra, some beans, and some cucumbers. I just have peppers left to set out tomorrow.
