since i'm big on showing photos of huge messes the last few days, how about one of the girl's messes? i found these photos from back in july, while they were on summer vacation. they don't play with toys all that much anymore. but every once in a while, they will take out something and play with it for a week or two straight. this time it was bratz dolls.

they will take out every single bratz doll, item of clothing, shoes, furniture, and cars that we own. which apparently, is a LOT! what you see in these photos is only half of what they actually had going on upstairs. and they spend a ton of time setting everything up and deciding who will have what dolls. it's like a whole little world. shopping centers, a school, houses and rooms, and even a party bus. and each tiny little accessory is set up just so.

if any of your daughters are missing a certain shoe or shirt, i'm pretty sure my girls have it. lol! and i find it amazing that they actually know all these items. "where is that brown boot? you know, the light brown boot with the dark brown heel and the little strap?". i'm not sure how they manage to keep track. but they do.

and then they actually play with this mess every day. for up to a week or two at a time. during this particular time, they went 5 nights straight without even turning the tv on. they would just sit up there and play together. it was so nice. since my girls usually can't sit anywhere near each other without fighting. and they also usually like to have the tv on. lol! this also means that we're stepping on bratz dolls and stuff for a week or two straight. it was so spread out, that you couldn't get through without stepping on something. but it was all good. and when they decide they're done, you'd be amazed at how quickly they can pick all that up.

and btw, i'm typing this post from MY laptop. not the girls laptop. but MY laptop! i got it back tonight. after a 4 week wait. a wait i was not happy about at all. but that is forgotten for now, and i'm happy to have it back. i feel like just maybe i can get back on track with things now 🙂

    First off glad you have your laptop back (and working) this time. I am sure you have many things to finish.
    Yes, my girls take to Bratz, Polly Pockets, Webkinz, Stawberry Shortcake. Newest craze for them is Littlest Pet shop. It must be a girl thing. My girls fuss with each other so much. I just thought it was the age (4 and 9) difference. I guess not because you girls are much closer.
    Have fun today:)

    Wow – that’s a lot of Bratz Doll stuff. It kind of reminds me of me with all my Barbie stuff when I was little. I guess I’m going to have to start learning what all the popular “girlie” toys are now since we are expecting a girl.

    Hey Laura-Do the Bratz come with detachable feet? It looks like the shoes and boots snap into the legs…ha,ha,ha…what a riot. I still have a collection of dolls that were all the rage when I was little. I think they were the original concept behind polly pocket. I use to haul EVERYTHING in a pink hat box doll case I’d gotten for Christmas. It was awesome especially since I really preferred my brothers creepy crawlers bug maker to dolls.
    Here’s to little girls, dolls and laptops!!!!

    Glad you got your laptop back,,,,finally! That would drive me nuts too!
    The photos of your girls are just adorable. Your post brought back memories of my sister and me when we would do the same thing with all our dolls and accessories. Only back then, it was the “sunshine family” dolls and of course Barbies instead of bratz.

    Little girls and their “little” things..Bailey has piles of little stuff everywhere..drives me crazy!!! But if it keeps them occupied and they are using their imagination playing, it’s all good! At least they clean them up!
    Glad you’re back in the saddle again with your laptop!

    LOL … I find myself picking my way thru toys strewn all over my living room daily as we have no playroom. Nowadays it’s Chase’s toys, so mostly matchbox cars and lego pieces. As much as it drives me crazy on some days (like when I misstep and crush the wheels on a favorite car) I know the day will come when I look back on these days fondly.

    My girls have lots of Bratz stuff too, but not as much as your girls. My girls can play for hours/days too.

    Isn’t it fun to see them playing with toys again, even for a short period of time? My two girls are teenagers now and I still have tubs and tubs of all their Barbie stuff…clothes, furniture, etc. They might be excited to see it if I brought it out…even though they are 18 and 16 now!
