Thanks for sharing the pictures. :)<BR/><BR/>On to the papers....<BR/><BR/>I have a box that I put their papers they bring home from school, stuff the made, their homework they completed. I go through it at the end of each term and send stuff out to the grandparents so they can see what the kids have been doing. With my 7 yr old as soon as we get in the house we knock out his homework. This has worked best for us since if he plays beforehand he is apt to not want to do it. So it only takes about 15 minutes right now. So we knock it out and then he gets his free time. My youngest one who is 4 doesn't have homework from his preschool but I do have him do some worksheets and write his letters. I want him to be prepared for kindergarten next year.<BR/>Thanks for idea of the basket. I may see if I can find something to use in my kitchen.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17483881400473270580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-27298290028576992962008-10-16T17:03:00.001-05:002008-10-16T17:03:00.001-05:00You have beautiful children.. enjoy them daily bec...You have beautiful children.. enjoy them daily because the DO grow up fast and boy do you ever miss them.<BR/>I have a secretary sitting in the living room..

School papers though, I had a file that I kept on my counter. When the kids came home and I couldn't read it right away it went into the file and I would make sure I got to it before bedtime, even if it killed me. Then I'd throw it out or send it back signed. Info I copied onto my calendar rather than have the paper lying around.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757963698816530787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-18151910343511235262008-10-16T15:31:00.000-05:002008-10-16T15:31:00.000-05:00Yes Dear.

It's amazing how quickly they grow and become these fantastic little people.<BR/><BR/>As far as the paper clutter etc., I go through it all immediately. Whatever needs to thrown out is thrown out, the rest is put in the appropriate places. I have designated folders, envelopes, that sort of thing.
