Treasure Chest

My kids have this box of junk.  This really, really big box of junk.  I think everyone with kids has one, I know that my sister and I had one as kids, or maybe a dresser full.  This box contains the following: McDonald's happy meal toys, random toys from the dollar store, stocking stuffers, easter basket stuffers, birthday party prize bag toys, stickers, valentines, souviners from vacations, cars, blocks, random trinkets that hurt really bad when you step on them and stuff I don't know where to put.

So each time I clean their room I try to hide this box in the farthest corner of the closet, which is still clearly visible in their shallow closet.  But I stack alot of stuff on top of it in hopes of making it less appealing.  Nope, it never works.  Little by little this box makes its way out onto the floor and across the room.  Paige is the main culprit..this box is like candy to her...she just...can't...stay...away!  The thought has crossed my mind many times that if I just get rid of it as it is all junk anyway, their room would stay so much cleaner but I just can't do it.  And I won't of course because after all, it can entertain them for hours.
