Hoarding and Summer

Hoarding and summer are really not related but these pictures show both. Gabe likes stuff- I do not so clearly we have a problem. When I walk in and see his desk looking like that picture, I want to scoop it all into a trash bag. Gabe will pick up every single item and declare it is his favorite. He remembers where, when and why he got the item. I don't really have sympathy. Soooo- we made a deal. If it is lying on top of the desk- I will toss it. If it has a place inside the desk he can keep it. We will see if this works.
Summer... it is going way, way to fast...July 4th is almost here...
I have stuck to my guns and we are living the slow paced life that summer should be. We are not running all over the place to a million different camps and activities, just to be doing SOMETHING. We are enjoying doing NOTHING! WE LIKE IT LIKE THAT!
