Ahh, the pulling out stage... Abby goes around all day from cupboard to drawer to bin and clears them out, leaving chaos in her wake. Josiah, who doesn't really like things messy, has grown accustomed to the whole situation, and I see him periodically, sweeping the living room floor with his hockey stick, making room for a game by brushing all the debris aside. It's a system that seems to work for them...and then I wonder why my house is always in disarray.

Why can't I keep this place clean?

That is truly a cute stage and an adorable little girl you have!
Ah, the agony. . . I feel your pain, I truly and completely and unfortunately do. . .
She IS adorable though. And I am glad that you got a picture for posterity. :) Emma likes to clean too. She sings a song about it. It is called "Do you like to dust clean too?" Unfortunately it is sung all too rarely, and the dust/mess is left to me. Hugs my friend, us neat freaks are clearly outnumbered now.
bec
get used to it, the stage could last for a good 18 years at least!

Ah yes, do kids every truly leave this stage? Although Hazel is very insistent on putting guests' shoes in our coat closet and not leaving them laying around by the door. so I guess shoes qualify as too much mess for her. By the way, nice outfit on Abby :)
