Stuffed Animal Storage Genius and a Pondering

Okay, so whoever came up with this is a GENIUS!!!












This is the Boon animal storage bag. It also doubles as a seat. Where was this when I was growing up?! I had stuffed animals out the wazoo! (Don't ask me what a wazoo is because I don't know. Fun to say, though. :) I am going in a different direction for Ailey's growing pile of cuddlies, but I just had to share this because it is such a fantastic solution! When I have finished maiming a towel we don't really use anymore, I'll show you the destination of the direction in which I'm aiming.

On to the pondering. There are times when I, in my preggo state, get awakened by an overly full bladder and must make a mad waddle to the bathroom before disaster strikes. If I have not weaned my water intake in the evening, sometimes said midnight potty rendezvous doubles and possibly triples. On nights like these, usually I end up not being able to go back to sleep for a long period of time and I start pondering things. The other night's pondering had to do with -clude. First of all, it really does sound funny if you think about it. Second of all, look at all the prefixes just for -clude: in-, ex-, pre-, oc-, con-, se- and those are just the ones I could think of....I'm sure there are more. Oh, and don't ask me why I was thinking about that, I'm just giving you a little peak into my brain activity at 3 in the morning...

the clude thing was hilarious. definitely random 3am thoughts. deep thoughts...by jack handy worthy for sure.

for stuffed animals we have always just used the hammock/net things, kind of like this: http://www.amazon.com/Prince-Lionheart-Jumbo-Toy-Hammock/dp/B00073HJG8/ref=pd_sim_k_5 just always works for our space available and bedroom layouts and such. but this is very interesting. can't wait to hear what you have planned. and, when are you due again?

You are welcome, Nessa...yes, annoying is a nice way to put it. ;) Michawn, I was going to do the net, but I want her to be able to reach them because she plays with them at random. The only problem with that would be the she along with both of the boys would try and use it as a hammock and then I would probably either be patching up huge holes in the walls or replacing a whole section. Yeah, kind of wanting to avoid that whole scenario.....
