organization tip: sift, scoop and pinch

It been super hot here lately, and being 6 months pregnant, the last place I want to be is outside in the heat. So needless to say, we have been spending a lot of time inside, reading books, eating ice pops, playing, and of course... making a mess!

Today I got a little creative with our clean up.  I gave the kids kitchen tools to help pick up their crayons and pencils.  It definitely made the daunting task a bit more fun...  although it also took a whole lot longer (not that that's a bad thing when you are stuck inside).
