I think I need one that holds them in - they have a way of wandering off.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05583029102450754497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528227961565444889.post-13173649590045735632009-11-18T02:14:03.190-08:002009-11-18T02:14:03.190-08:00Hang on: you walked past an EXPANDABLE SPICE RACK...Hang on: you walked past an EXPANDABLE SPICE RACK? I've never seen one of these and now I just know I have to have one! I'm the only one in the family who tries to keep the spices in any kind of order. I'll bet one of those would keep my cardamom from getting swallowed up by cocoa and balsamic vinegar.<br /><br />Love the pigs and mice. And I'm trying to guess what your son's beef was: too much vacuuming? He'd fit right in here.Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528227961565444889.post-4042061168506592082009-11-16T20:37:14.607-08:002009-11-16T20:37:14.607-08:00OMG -- LMAO!OMG -- LMAO!Rena Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328844122193024220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528227961565444889.post-19033671112193298902009-11-16T19:52:33.396-08:002009-11-16T19:52:33.396-08:00MG - I wouldn't go as far as to say our house ...MG - I wouldn't go as far as to say our house is organized - more like bearable, anyway!<br /><br />Audrey - That's a funny story.

My daughter's friend came over last week. He hated how my cabinet looked. He organized the whole thing. The next day when I saw it, I was blown away. He did an awesome job.

Yeah, it kind of defeats the purpose...<br /><br />Stephanie - It'd be easier if we all had the exact same tolerance for mess. :)Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05583029102450754497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528227961565444889.post-65126082075738134742009-11-15T08:31:00.419-08:002009-11-15T08:31:00.419-08:00Ha!

It's supposed to help keep me sane, but everyone draws all over that one, too...<br /><br />Louise - We do laugh a lot! Sometimes it surprises me, considering all the squabbling I hear - but I consider myself lucky for having a good laugh every day!<br /><br />ICQB - Yes, dust off that white board! I really should use them more - in case it's not obvious, I'm not that organized... :D<br /><br />PJ - Aren't the piggies great? He draws some awesome doggies, too! :)<br /><br />Green Girl - Yep, he's pretty funny - and often too irreverant. He might have a future as a shock jock.<br /><br />Brenda - Believe it or not, he doesn't mind that chore! (With enough cleanser and the right tools, I guess it's pretty easy).<br /><br />Helen - Oh, yes - the art of looking busy! How funny. I've known people who know just how to stay in constant motion, and never really accomplish anything... :D<br /><br />Kelly - It's definitely changed over time - we used to have more of a point/reward system when the kids were little. Now it's more like, do it because I said so!

(But it actually hasn't been in use for a while, we've been using this system for a year and a half, so the kids just tell me what they did and count up the points.
