uh oh....

Do remember as a kid, having one of those moments where you push your Mom too far? You're being mischevious or naughty or mouthy or whatever, and suddenly you step over the line. You can feel it happen. All the air sucks out of the room. There is total silence. The air becomes deathly silent and still.

That happened for Eliot and Garret today.

It all started on Monday at 4:30 during cleanup time and culminated today during "you'd better clean this stuff up or else there is going to be big trouble" time.
 

Thats right folks. The toys, books, stuffed animals, dvd's, cd's, bikes, everything are in the garage. I left some things in Ivor's room, so the babies have some toys to play with tomorrow while the big kids are cleaning the playroom and earning a toy or two back.
 

I'll let you know how it goes.

Oh I have so been there....but in my case it was for lying. We had a litte "stage" with Sean and Jason said to him "If you lie one more time, you are going to lose ALL your toys." I just cringed because I KNEW we were going to HAVE to follow through and I was going to have to back up what he had just said. Sure enough....every toy Sean owned ended up in our bedroom. You gotta do it and stick to your guns ;0) Have fun! HAHA At least you had room in the garage for them so you aren't breaking your toes on them like I did ;0)
