We have a pretty big house in my opinion- 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, family and living rooms, etc..., but it seems as though it's not big enough these days! It's not that Anderson is running around (not yet anyway) but he's got so much STUFF! And I am realizing that we're just beginning. I often think about 2 years from now when he's got all kinds of toys everywhere- we're going to have to move into a mansion! ha ha- kidding of course.
So, I guess the whole house isn't too small, but our family room certainly is. Imagine 2 couches, a large coffee table, side table, a baby, a bouncy, a boppy, a Baby Einstein playmat, 2 dogs and oh ya- Jason and I and in one room! Then I am typically doing laundry in there so for some portion of the day there are a few piles of folded laundry begging to be put away. It's total chaos and it's always a mess. Makes me crazy!
At some point we will convert my office uptairs into a play room, but since AJ can't climb the stairs yet it's pointless right now. For now, we'll just continue to make a mess of that room and clean it up nightly. I suppose it could be MUCH worse huh?

We are in a 4BR house with a living room and family room. For the last two years our family room was filled with Ryan's stuff. We even took our coffee table out to create more room, plus when he started to crawl, we had to put the yard gate up so he wouldn't get into the fireplace and/or entertainment center. I finally decided to create a playroom with the (stupid waste of a space!) living room. Sadly, the family room is still cluttered now that Kara is here. It doesn't get any better if you add a second! LOL
I've decided to make it a point to get rid of toys that he no longer plays with or if they are broken. It really helps- I can't imagine keeping everything! It would take over the house! To think we will be adding dolls/girly things soon to his tools/cars blows my mind! hahah
