Stuff on the Living Room Floor

Here's a sampling of the junk all over the living room floor that shouldn't be there.

- Several hundred tiny Legos pieces (but at least the other three thousand are in the plastic tub)
- a Hello Kitty purse
- a Little People bus
- Several Barbies, some of them headless and/or limbless, and some Barbie accessories, including little magnetic dog poops to go with the Hillary Duff Barbie's dog, which eats these little brown capsule-shape magnets and then poops them out. Isn't it a bit much even for a child's imagination to accept that what goes in the mouth comes out the back side and then goes back into the mouth again?
- the basket holding the Wii controls (at least the controls are in the basket this time)
- laundry baskets
- plastic file boxes that should be in the computer room, and for the life of me I don't know why I haven't done that yet
- an unstacked stack of books that Sojie tried to stand on, and which subsequently unstacked themselves themselves under her feet
- a pink Webkinz poodle
- one Shalom-size flip flop and one Sojie-size princess shoe with the red lights that light up when she walks. These two items are under the futon couch. We seem to be on a roll with shoe separation. I'm to the point where I'm ready to let them wear mismatched shoes to go places, because it takes us forever to find the mates
- seven overdue library books
- a tea set
- There's more, but I don't want to bore you.

Stay tuned for the next installment of Burn Down This House. Maybe we'll explore what can be detected on the bathroom floors using a microscope. Aw heck, who am I kidding? You're not going to need the microscope.
