Dilemma, Dilemma....

So for the past week Jace and I haven't been seeing eye to eye. It all started with him cleaning his room. He has a toy box under his bed that until recently he didn't know even existed.(That's where I hid the loud and big toys) He has started to dump all the toys from every basket and that toy box on the floor and refuses to pick it up. So I threatened to throw them all away. Now I know I shouldn't say things that I don't intend to do. But after last night I think I might. I asked him to go get his PJ's and when he returned he had them.(what a good boy) But when I went up to tuck him in he had thrown everything out of his drawers. Not just piled them on the floor I mean thrown them everywhere.(This is where you picture them hanging from the lights, over the door, all over his bed) It was a mess. I thought my head was going to explode. I told him again I was going to throw them all away and his reply was "go ahead mom, just do it, I don't want them" What do you say to that? This morning I was telling the sitter the story and I didn't think he was listening but I guess he was, because as soon as I finished the story he looks at me and says. "just throw them away" So tonight after we get home I am going to load them all up and make a trip to the dump (garage) for now. Wish me luck!

BOYS!! What will we do with them?? We are at a stage right now that I am trying to get my boys (mainly JB) to start helping. you know like bed making, taking dirty dishes to the sink, etc. For some reason JB thinks it is complete torture to have to pick up his room. He too would rather me throw the things away then him have to actually clean them up! I keep telling myself it is just a phase!
