[quote=Anonymous]I am a neat freak and I handle this by having an extremely satisfying system for organizing and putting away toys, games, art supplies, snacks, etc. And then I take great pleasure in putting the house back in order efficiently at the end of a day of play session. Sorting various building toys into their labeled and correctly sized containers before putting them back in the shelf. Oh yes. Gathering all the books from around the house and putting them back on the correct shelves? Thrilling. Packing the art supplies back away onto our “art cart” with alloys labeled bins and cups? Love it.

Think of children as a next level challenge to your neat freak ways. Then let them play all day and put your skills to work. Bonus if you can turn cleaning up into a game they too enjoy.

Also, even if this sounds like a lot of work, who is going to STOP THEIR KIDS FROM HAPPILY PLAYING on a chilly Saturday in November right before the launch of the holiday season. You know if you put away their toys they are just going to demand you entertain them, right? Right??????[/quote]
