How To Make Room For Christmas!

You could buy this awesome play table and store your toys more efficiently, but for $350, we wonder if your money can be better spent. As an alternative, we purchased our pre-loved Imaginarium train table on Craigslist for $45 and used baskets we already had around the house to store toys underneath. (reduce and reuse!)

We also took all toys that Weapon X has outgrown and set them aside for our niece who is 1 year younger.

We made the final decision to list our double size futon on Craig's List!
We will replace it with 2 twin futon matresses on top of eachother. This will allow us to make more space, but pull the extra futon matress out (trundle style) when we have guests. We also think it will make a great reading space for X when we pile it with the pillows we already had for the futon.

The crib will be the last thing to go.
After we sell that, we will have room for a tool bench or toy kitchen, but that may have to wait until X's 2nd birthday. He isn't climbing out of is crib yet, so we still think it is the safest place for him to sleep for now.
