A Big Fat Mess with a Dose of Perspective

So, my house is messy.

Like, all the time.

Completely, totally utterly messy.

I think it might have something to do with the five little bodies running around.

One day I was so frustrated and wondering how on earth I could deal with this more effectively. Then I took a look around. Do you know why my house is always messy? It is littered with books. Board books, picture books, chapter books, library books... You name it, we got it all over the floor and couches. Then I thought, "Am I really going to complain about this? Really? No."

Hey kids! There's a few more books left lonely on the bookshelf!

I totally agree! I love this! I've often wondered if I should put the books in the closet or up high (out of reach of the baby who constantly unloads them to read). But I couldn't bring myself to do it--I love that he's constantly into the books. It's his favorite thing...but it is messy!
