TOYS TOYS TOYS

                      TOYS    TOYS   TOYS

When I was a kid I didn't know  anybody who had lots of toys. For some reason anybody I talk to now has a major problem with toy pollution. It's an international problem. It could be that toys were mostly European made, and therefore more expensive. Or maybe a perfect marriage of children's movies and production of characters hadn't happened yet. Most of my kid's toys correspond with one or another movie: Star Wars, Iron Man, Cars, Hulk, Tangled, Toy Story, Transformers etc. Well, not only children have more elaborate toys.

I see way more exotic cars on the road these days. How about shoes? My grandma wouldn't believe her eyes if she saw some of today's creations !

IS THERE ANY WAY TO KEEP THOSE TOYS      

                       CONTAINED?!!

Every once in a while I pile all the toys in the middle of the room and give my kids a choice of their favorite ones to keep. The rest of the functioning toys are stored and put away to the garage. They are not allowed to go and get them without special permission. That day is usually at least 6 months away and comes on a very rainy day when the kids get cabin fever or are just plain restless. They are very happy to see them,  like they're brand new!

AFTER. Those boxes will move to the garage. Broken toys should be recycled in the no-see-through bag, so kids avoid the temptation to get hem out.

My son is a big fan of cars. This beauty we saw at the used car parking lot in LA.

This golden Lamborghini Gallardo once belonged  to the bad boy Dennis Rodman.
