For super special items my boys have a "special box" in their room they can save what they want in that box, but if it gets too full, they have to clean some things out. <br /><br />And, Jen, I too hide things that I throw away. I even do this with little toys that are just junk. They usually don't even notice. Although awhile back I tossed a little plastic football. I had forgotten that A was going to use it as a form around which to create a bird's nest. Oops. I felt terrible. It was perfect for shaping a nest around and I had tossed it. But really one regret out of so many things tossed, the odds are still in favor of tossing things.heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12440806925350092398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1285843419841798976.post-18244091468614399552011-01-17T21:25:07.331-08:002011-01-17T21:25:07.331-08:00You are not alone!

I put the discarded stuff in the veeeerrry bottom of the recycle bin, so hopefully they won't see me throwing away their creations. 90% of the time they never ask what happened to them.Jen Rousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15318797787773072481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1285843419841798976.post-80778601769706681032011-01-17T15:04:44.974-08:002011-01-17T15:04:44.974-08:00Pst, L....hyperbole is a literary devise. :)Pst, L....hyperbole is a literary devise. :)Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17012298655256803057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1285843419841798976.post-84099504109983004582011-01-17T11:56:51.264-08:002011-01-17T11:56:51.264-08:00Thanks a lot Rebekah for getting your facts straig...Thanks a lot Rebekah for getting your facts straight!!!! I don't keep almost everything my kids do. But I am sentimental (that part is true) and probably keep a percentage (maybe 10 to 20% depending on what it is) of their work and art and put it in nicely displayed, organized, notebooks which are put very orderly in the craft room, not cluttering up the house. <br />LauraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1285843419841798976.post-34512372989955662792011-01-17T10:06:29.739-08:002011-01-17T10:06:29.739-08:00K asks me the exact same thing.

I bought under the bed wrapping paper boxes and each boy has one under his bed for all the stuff from school that we are keeping. I don't have it laying around the house, and it is in a safe spot.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16590722117879552148noreply@blogger.com
