I am a smart woman.
If I was a man...this is what I would look like...
But, since I am not, here is what you get...

I was running today at the gym and reading my recent Parents magazine.
Yes, I run and read. It's a talent.
Anyhow, there was a tip about getting your kids to clean up their toys
and I decided to try it out tonight.
And guess what?
It worked!!
I told the boys that the pick-up fairy comes and checks the playroom every night. If there are toys out, she takes them away for awhile.
They were so curious about this pick-up fairy.
They asked me all sorts of questions while they cleaned up.
What does she look like?
Green teeth, yellow dress, yellow hair.
How does she get here?
A broom.
Where does she live?
In Toyland, of course,
considering she has all of the toys from the boys and girls who don't pick up each night.
So...we'll have to see how this works. But tonight, it worked like a charm.
And though I did not come up with this idea, I feel extra smart.
And with better hair than Albert Einstein.
Even better!

Don't think I won't try it! I feel like all I do is pick up toys, cook (for nobody to eat it), clean dishes and then pick up the toys she got out while I was doing all of the above! Vicious cycle!!!
Great plan.. I am trying it!! Brillant I tell you!
Just had to say that it IS a talent to run and read!! I tried reading on my elliptical but can't...the bouncing drives me batty!! :)
Hope the munchkins continue to be good little picker-uppers for ya!!
Awesome idea... I have to try it! You sure are a smart one! ;)
Running and reading.... can't do it!!! Stomach flu.... hate it!!! For the Love of Baseball.... Loved it... Jackson's glasses... ADORABLE!!! Reading your blog... can't get enough of it!
No but seriously... I love reading your blog. Although when I only get one once every couple weeks I have to do some major catching up! I hope Willie's friend is doing well... the Madsen's have said a few prayers!!! And I will definitely try the toy fairy trick! You are brilliant!!!
