Although it is a NICE room - could be a bedroom - it does not make a cozy place to play b/c MOMMY does not enjoy sitting in the playroom. And as of now, they'd rather be with me! I'd rather be in the kitchen/family room area and have them drag their toys up here. When it gets to be too much crap in here, down to the playroom things go! <BR/><BR/>If you do get a playroom - we have a fantastic storage unit from Ikea with slide out bins. I took a picture of toys in categories ("guys" "dolls" "leggos" "cars and planes") Then on the outside of each bin, I put the picture so EVERYONE - read HUSBAND - can help pick up and put things back like I want them! :)<BR/><BR/><BR/>The toy room makes me able to handle the toys. (In relation to your comments about hut living, yes we have too much stuff and the fact that we have a large space to just contain the said stuff is astounding).<BR/>I do love your thoughts! I check them daily after I check my email!<BR/>Jennifer ScottAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29080436.post-11347549615354737782007-05-31T19:06:00.000-06:002007-05-31T19:06:00.000-06:00Hi Cathy,We have a playroom and it does dramatical...Hi Cathy,<BR/>We have a playroom and it does dramatically cut down on the clutter in the rest of the house- but I must confess that most days it looks like a bomb exploded in there! My two year old, Ethiopian, one man demolition team mainly likes to pull everything out - he has very little interest in playing with it - just dumping it out! My personal feeling is that I can live with one room a disaster area so long as I can escape somewhere else and relax free of toys! And every night before TV is allowed my kiddos have to clean the playroom up so from 7pm till 6am it is more or less tidy! Hope that helps.<BR/><BR/>blessings,<BR/>Heather<BR/>mom to TJ (7.5 fos/adopt), Tye (5 fos/adopt) and Micah Ashenafee (23 months, Ethiopia)hmmjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572326813601600407noreply@blogger.com
