Top Ways in Which We Know there are Children in the House
This week I’m brainstorming for an article I’d like to write - the Top Ten Ways in Which One Can Deduce a Person has Kids. I’d love for you to submit your ideas on this - here’s a few of mine. I’ll be the first to admit that the following all occur on a regular basis in our household. In no particular order:
1. A woman driving in her car alone listening to the Doodlebops, Diego or Backyardigans music - sometimes even singing along absently.
2. Sticking to the floor.
3. Being unable to see the dining room/kitchen table for all the craft supplies, crayons, paper scraps and toys.
4. Several rooms dedicated to the storing of toys - usually stored in an organized chaos all over the floor (see #3 above, and change table for floor).
5. Abstract art taped to every square inch of bare wall - which didn’t cost a penny, but is all considered priceless.
So what about you folks?

For me, it’s that I answer the door with play dough in my hair or food splattered down my clothes and that in the porch there are pairs of odd shoes for people to fall over - I dunno how dd manages it, but she does……………..

Mrs. Green - Thanks for stopping by!
That is so very true. During the baby time, I find it difficult to leave the house without a spatter or two of sweet potato or squash.

Also, I can’t fathom how three people can leave so many shoes strewn by the door. When I sort them, I usually find I only have one pair - leaving about ten to split between dd and ds. Crazy.
