"Mom, Our House is Spinning!"

I watched my children for about 20 minutes as they spun and spun around the living room floor. As I watched I stepped over their toys that I never seem to see them play with. I am a minimalist but birthdays and Christmas always ushers in new things for me to pick up or encourage my children to pick up. What happen to the days of forts built out of sheets and playing outside? A good playdate always ends in the hostess and kids cleaning up mounds of toys because we've lost the ideal of non structured/non toy play. Aiden had a blast this morning entertaining himself! Who knows maybe most of the toys in this house will find their way out the door.
