Oh, the tragedy of it all!  Well, what can I say – nostalgia can be a powerful thing, even for kids; happy memories are happy memories.  Those books were used for a lot of bedtime stories over the years.  As for the cleaning?  I’ve been keeping it to bite-size chunks of their room more for my sake than theirs.  The “woe is us” gets annoying rather quickly.  😛  Just wait until we get to the point where we’re chucking/donating old toys, again.  I’ll have to make sure that we’re listening to suitably sad violin music.  😉
I’m wearing my new TMNT shirt that the girls gave me for Father’s Day, featuring the original animated crew (speaking of nostalgia).  Arwyn’s dress has a unicorn and rainbow pattern going on, while Kia’s got her fox reading shirt from Tee Turtle.
