My daughter is 4yrs old. She finds areas around the house to make her "nest"... obviously she is a pack-rat and with my O.C.D. it drives me nuts. This is a condensed version of what her nest usually looks like.

Ive already picked up several things before taking this photo.

...is this normal???

I guess boys are different. My oldest is a boy and he never did this.

Whats really funny is that their fights usually occur over this stuff. Just before I took that picture, I started picking it up. Among many other things, I found 2 action figures and a pair of binoculars The action figures and binoculars do NOT belong to her....

I have two grown sons, both of which were slobs and one still would be except his wife picks up after him every day and night. He never closed a drawer or a door, clothes would be falling out of every drawer, keep in mind all drawers on the dresser were open. Where ever he stepped out of his clothes is where they remained, until he ran out of clean clothes then he would finally gather and drop off in the laundry room. I learned to close the door to keep my sanity. The younger son is living with us until his house is finished, OMG, 1 more week, then I'll be able to get that room back to normal.

I don't have the patience for it now that I use to I'll tell ya that!

Pat, I truly laughed out loud on that one!

Pat, what were you doing at my house? LOL Thank goodness for bedroom doors!They still have their "stash"....car keys, baseball cap, change, cds, video games, books, back packs, jackets, sunglasses, empty Dr. Pepper cans, poker cards & chips, dirty clothes, clean clothes, etc.

I'm nearly 48 and I still leave stuff all over the house! Of course, it's not the same when you have to pick it up yourself. Even my dog went through a phase of herding all the shoes into a pile in the middle of the living room. She didn't chew them, just collect -- like the rest of my family. My one-month-old niece is the only one who might have hope of being organized.

Zoe, does your dog do windows?

Jamie, do you have a little Paris Hilton in the making? LOL

I sure hope she can make as much money as Paris Hilton some day. HAHA!!!
