What Was I Thinking?

Both kids have taken a real interest in cookware. I have a little cookware set from IKEA, and a couple of plates, spoons, etc., but that's about it. So, the other day I headed down to Toys-R-Us and bought the 85 piece fake food set, and some stainless steel cookware, since sharing is a ship that has not yet docked at our house. What on earth was I thinking? Am I just stupid (don't answer. Just....don't). But 85 pieces? I'm tired enough without having to pick up 85 pieces of fake food plus cookware every evening! No more toys with more than 1 part! No more! Luckily, the food pieces aren't nearly as injuring to the bottom of the feet as Legos or Hotwheels, but they're still annoying. I keep finding fake Pringles and fake drumsticks under the couch. Nice going, Rochelle. Smart move.

You were thinking you're a mom who just wants what's good for her children. You were thinking they will entertain themselves, and they will. They will learn how to clean (???????) eventually. But most of all, they will (especially Brandon right now) use the toys to help them make sense of their world. In the meantime, watch where you step. Love to all

Well, it is a bit insane, but you know that 1/3 of them will be lost within a week, and a couple will become broken or mangled in some capacity so that you have to throw them away, and so then you'll have less...

That's still a lot to put away.
