Caught!

Ben wanted ice cream, but it was almost lunch time, so I told him he could eat a sandwich and then have ice cream. He agreed, I made a delicious half sandwich, and he took it downstairs to eat. Very soon afer that I went down, too. Ben triumphantly held up his empty plate.
Mommy -Done so soon?
Ben - Yes!
Mommy - Even the crust?
Ben - Nod.
Mommy - If I check the garbage, there won't be any sandwiches in there?
Ben. Pause. Cautiously - Sorry?
Mommy, retrieving a half-eaten sandwich from garbage - You don't get to watch TV, Ben.
Ben - Ice cream?
Mommy incredulosly shakes her head no.
Ben cries/screams.
The end.

Kevin's big Idea. Kevina brīnišķīgā ideja.

Kevin had and Idea.
We should organize the boys' toys.
Not that we haven't had that thought before.
But this time it was for REAL. He actually did it. The answer is this - uniform plastic bins! See for yourselves, doubters and unbelievers! I am putting up pictures of other places we keep toys in their room, too. Also, we stash things under the bed. :) Please feel free share what you do to keep things from exploding! Maybe you had an even better IDEA?



Kevinam radās Doma.
Doma bija tāda - vajadzētu sakārtot mantas bērnistabā.
Nav jau tā, ka mēs nekad agrāk neko tādu neiedomājāmies, bet šoreiz mēs to arī izdarījām! Desmit plastmasas kastes ar vākiem, un istaba izskatās tik kārtīga kā vēl nekad! Neticat? Nu tad skatieties paši! Un ja nu gadījumā kādam ir radusies vēl labāka ideja, kā uzturēt kārtību mazu puišeļu istabā, tad droši padalieties!
