The latest game my childern like to play has many names: camping, buliding mouse traps, make a fort (a poker poker in Maggie's words) against dragons. It consists of emptying all toys into a desiganted area. Last night they emptied their ENTIRE playroom into a huge pile in front of their toy kitchen. This afternoon it was carrying armloads of toys from the girls' room into Sam's room. Both times it took about 1 hour to clean it up. 1 hour of at least 1 parent on top of them, making usre it got done.

I swear I will blow a gasket if this keeps up. We have had talks about it, time-outs will ensue.

No help here, my kids do it too. Mostly it is my 4 and 6 yr old who lead the way, so I am afraid I still have years of this ahead. One day they emptied their entire closet!
