It seems like I am forever rearranging things around this joint. I organize something and then decide that however I had it positioned is not functional. So I reorganize and then reorganize again. Case in point: the boys' dresser. They've had this dresser in their room forever. I originally had a few items on the top: the Haitian wood boat, some Walmart canisters that hold army men and army planes and tanks, and a panting Kenson made. But the boys kept piling stuff on top of the dresser and everything would get knocked off and it just looked like a mess. The other issue was that the boys had books in their room on a bookshelf but Grabby McGrabberson aka Kai was creating a disaster with the books. So plan a was to organize the books and plan b was to organize the treasures that my kids had that we wanted to dispaly. The books are now in the boxes on top of the dresser. The army toys are still in their home beside the boxes. (Seriously one of the best and easiest storage tricks ever. It's just a Walmart canister that had a white lid. But I spray painted the lids brown and they just look so much nicer.) I knew I wanted a shelf of some type to hold the items for display since a shelf would keep the objects out of little hands and free from the danger of being knocked around. And guess what I found in my garage? An old shutter and 2 wrought iron fence brackets. So I made a shelf for zero dollars, which makes my heart happy. Now the shelf has the Haitian boat, Kenson's painting, two magnet boards for photos of the boys' foster/birth families, the alarm clock (which was forever getting messed with), Zeke's trophy for being an honorary coach at the Shrine game this summer, and a fish Zeke painted during his hospital stay at Mayo. I guess I'm now content. Until I decide to rearrange again.
