HOW did we accumulate so many TOYS?!!

I am at my wits end. For the next two and a half months, my schedule is this- get up, get ready, take T to daycare, go to work, go to class from 10:15-12:30, go back to work, pick up T, run any needed errands, go home, fix dinner, clean/laundry/etc, and yes, homework. Ok, so really, this schedule hasn't changed too drastically in 2 years since I started back to work and school after having T, but in summer, it's just more stressful. Having class five days a week for two and a half hours each day for a month...yeah, it gets old QUICK. 

The day wouldn't be half as bad if our house weren't so cluttered...with TOYS! I go through them monthly, or I at least try to, but I really think they multiply on their own. I am constantly walking behind my child picking up whatever he leaves in his path. But, I do have to give him credit, he does pick up his own toys pretty well and help when I ask him to. We recently bought one of the kid's toy organizers with bins from Target, and that has helped with some of the clutter in his room. But, it's the living room that is driving me nuts! We have a corner for his toys, and I think it gets bigger by the week. We have a huge storage container that is full, and some of his bigger toys there, but it still doesn't make me feel more organized. I am constantly looking for ideas on how to store his stuff where he can still get to it and maybe even be able to put it up himself (like he can in his room), but nothing seems to help with my "clutter anxiety". I know it's just one of those things, but I can't wait til we move somewhere that has more room AND storage!!! 

Feeling cluttered is not something that I like, especially when I'm home and have so much going on. But, even with the clutter and busy schedule, I know I wouldn't change any of it for the world (ok, so maybe the clutter!). I know I will look back on these times with Tristan and miss him being little. Heck, I already do! He's not a baby anyone, but is instead a toddler! He is more independent and free spirited than any child I know. He has such a great personality and is so loving. I hope he'll stay that way.
