Large Toy Domain

The downstairs family room is where the children build forts. They move the couches (they are on plastic sliders) and rearrange anything else they can move. They get the play tunnels out of the toy closet, pull the couch cushions from the couch, and use all the TV blankets in the room to create their fort. They spend more time building their forts than they do playing in them. Besides being a perfect location for forts, the downstairs family room is home to the children's larger toys such as the mini-trampoline, the stand alone punching bag, the fabric playhouse, the oversized doll house, the play kitchen, and Lincoln and Evan's battery operated ride on cycle. 




Other toys in this room include a Fisher Price toddler piano, a LeapFrog learning Table, the majority of the children's stuffed animal collection (stuffed into three orange bean bags and on top of the corner fireplace), two bins of wooden blocks, a large container of Mega Bloks, and a few puzzles.



Also located downstairs is the toy and game overflow closet. It contains toys and puzzles being rotated out of use for a few months, the children's dress-up clothes, our household's game collection, and other items that need to be stored somewhere out of sight. (I love big closets. If I designed a house, a quarter of it would be closets.)
