Well, I'm taking away the nieces' books.

conulyOne too many incidences of coming up and finding them scattered all over the floor, getting their covers torn off from being stepped on, getting PEED on at least once (they sleep in hammocks, and they're both still pretty young. Bedwetting is easier in that you just toss the whole bed in the wash, and harder in that then you have to mop) - no more!
EVERY book, on the shelf or not (because they have so many that just taking away the ones on the floor wouldn't matter) is getting boxed up for the next 7 days, at which point we'll discuss the matter.
With any luck, this will also help them find something else to do after bedtime other than sneak out of bed and start reading (and leaving all the books on the floor).
In other news, I'm also tired of seeing toys and games all over everywhere. EVERY broken toy is getting tossed, and half the stuff on the floor as well, whatever's not worth saving. (Ana ran away and hid in my mom's closet at this point. This is because Ana is a brat, but I used to hide in my closet when upset, so I try to forgive her.) I AM SO TIRED OF THIS.

Just the mixed up puzzle pieces, the paper doll scraps (and the paper dolls on the floor - if you care about it, you put it away, Ana!), and one game that got in the crossfire after Ana acted like a brat and refused to throw something away and then went "Well, I don't even LIKE that game!"
