christmas come early

my boys have never kept busier than they have this past week.

while getting ready to sell we put about 75% of their books/toys away.
AND ...
they stayed in storage for the past 4 months!!!

NOW ...
drew and ben are just excited to be getting all of their stuff back AND to have rooms to put it in.

BUT ...
alex on the other hand has changed so much in 4 months that he has never seen many of the toys that i pull out
one by one i pull a toy out and give it to him
and each time he gets really excited when he sees what it can do
then he sits and plays with it for FOREVER!

it truly is too bad i don't take the time to do what everyone always says and "rotate my toys" -
man i could have "christmas come early" once a month!!
