<\/p>One of the things that my family \u201ctackles\u201d each November is a toy \u201cpurge\u201d. We (okay, I) go through every toy item in the house. Toys and games that have missing pieces or that are worn out get thrown away. Toys that my kids no longer use that are in great condition go to charity (except for a select few that go to their younger cousin).\n

I was amazed at how much kid stuff accumulates over the course of a year. Our apartment isn\u2019t that big yet I threw away between 6 to 8 grocery bags of toys\/games\/etc. Where was all of that stuff?! <\/p>\n

Our favorite part of the purge though was the good stuff that goes to charity. I was amazed at Michael\u2019s generosity. He gave away a lot of great items. (To be honest \u2013 part of it was his generosity, the other part was his wanting to make room for new Christmas toys!) One of my favorite sayings that I tell Michael is \u201cYou can\u2019t have everything. Where would you put it?\u201d (You\u2019d be amazed at the \u201csolutions\u201d four years old kids can come up with \u2013 if I left it to Michael, my dining room table would be \u201ctoy central\u201d!)<\/p>\n

Anyway, I digress, here\u2019s some of the things that we were able to give away:
\n

\"Puzzles\"
Puzzles<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\"Bag
Bag of Stuffed Animals<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\"Legos\"
Legos<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\n
\"MORE
MORE Puzzles<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\"Books\"

\n
\"Leap
Leap Pads<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

And here are two things (the bike and the \u201clawnmower\u201d \u2013 both which were loved toys) that we weren\u2019t able to donate. They said that they don\u2019t accept those types of toys(?!)
\n
