Thanks Gayle.<br />
I've taken your last sentance to heart and am currently "trying to look the other way" I've also installed a net in my daughters room for her toys and babies, this helped!<br />
Are you home schooling your boys? and if so are you using a certain Curriculum, I'd love to know.<br />

Cheers and Happy Holidays
