For those of you

Who think my kids are "caged" in (as some have said...I won't mention any names, but you know who you are :-), I would like to post a few pics of what about 10 minutes can do. Granted, it isn't anything devastating. But try to imagine this & MORE all day. For those who don't know my set-up, this is the shake-down: They are "gated" off in the front room. In that room, they have all the toys you could probably imagine (a kangaroo climber..AKA..slide, big soft blocks to make forts & build things, chairs with trays so they can color, a basketball goal & lots of other misc. toys like strollers, baby's, animals, books, puzzles, etc.) PLUS the flat screen is on the wall.

I do agree that they need to be in a different environment. So, we have the option of changing the gate to where they have the front room, hallway and kitchen. The pics of what I am posting are of the kitchen. Like I said, nothing crazy disastrous but imagine if I let them roam for 12 hours a day. Oh, did I mention that there is only one of me? So the next person to tell me that "oh, your poor kids are caged in" or "oh, you are a schedule Nazi" or "oh, you don't get them out enough", will have their heart ripped out by me! Again, kidding folks...just trying to give you some insight on how it is with multiples. I will add though that I'm triply blessed for sure! I wish everyone could have this experience (and no, I'm not being sarcastic).

Now, if you'll excuse me I have to go get Jonah out of the laundry closet. I still love you all!
