I’ve been meaning to put up some pictures of the mess that a normal school day produces in this house. These are from last week, but they’re pretty representative of every day around here… Between school bins, papers, crayons, colored pencils, math manipulatives, cars, ballet slippers, water bottles, and the like, the table is hard […]
