Organized Chaos

These wooden boxes are super for keeping books from falling over. This one was free; some upscale stores ship wine in them and then toss them. I always go in and ask for them. This one allows us to place the books front to back rather than side by side, much easier for my son to keep things organized. It's wide enough for spiral notebooks and some over sized books, and deep enough for all his school books.

Then there is the chaos in the preschool room. It's actually much worse. There is a paper explosion which continues outside the frame of this picture. My little one decided to get into some old teaching supplies, and throw them over her head like confetti. There are dozens and dozens of square pieces of paper all over the place. I keep finding them scattered throughout the house. On the other hand, she is picking them up and matching, learning new words, and honing her alphabet skills. ; )  She is also the one who likes to build obstacle courses, on purpose, and is the resident dare devil. Her room is usually an obstacle course in its own right.
