prairiegirl Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 10 pieces of paper with an assortment of coloured marshmallows stuck on them. We are learning about the periodic table and making pictures of the atoms of some of the elements. :D Also there are the pages of the first 7 weeks of WWS waiting to be put into a binder.

cin Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Two stacks of books and papers that I really don't know what to do with, but don't want to get rid of, half a bottle of water, an empty cup, a bucket of pencils, my daughter's jacket, and a pair of gym shoes. No, they are not new in box. They are used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Ummmm, nothing. The table is clean with nothing on it. The countertops are the way they should be -- staged and clean. Leftover lifestyle from the house being on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joannqn Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 A blue crate filled with all of DD11's school work. A green crate filled with all of DS9's school work. A file box filled with most of the teacher manuals or shared curricula/books. Four poster boards. An empty preschool calendar. It's the storage spot for school stuff as I pack everything else for our move in about 36 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onceuponatime Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 1 pie pumpkin that I've had for two weeks and need to do something with. 1 fruit bowl with a bunch of old coupons, that I never got around to using, under the bananas. 1 bowl for depositing the fall crop of pecans as they fall out of the tree. One used printer ink cartridge that has been on the table for over a month. I'm not sure why. Maybe I should ask dh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget-Me-Not Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 No kitchen table, but the dining room table is bare (I think). If we want to talk to the top of the school cabinet in the dining room though. . . well, that'd be a different matter :lol: I'm slightly envious of all of you who can put seasonal decorations on your table tops. My 3 yo would view them as new toys to play with :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momof3littles Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 In our current house, the kitchen table stays reasonably clear. My desk in the kitchen is another matter. :glare: Last night it finally got cleared off (other than what is supposed to be there). I'm surprised I didn't need a shovel. Books, bills, and about 100 other things that don't get put on the table but end up on my desk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmansWife Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 This was an easy one. I didn't even have to go look.....I don't have a kitchen table. Or a dining room table. We have a really small house and an even smaller kitchen (of course :lol:) and the table was always just piled with junk. We never, ever could sit at it. There wasn't room for everyone to sit around it anyway. Finally I just got sick of it and realized that if it were out of the kitchen....I'd have a lot more room in there. So, ds and I hauled it on out of there. But....I really wish I did have a bigger house and I could have a clutter-free kitchen table that we all could sit at to eat, play board games or cards...... *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatmansWife Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 So where do you eat? We don't eat. Yes......we eat. Usually we don't have everyone here at once to eat together. We eat in the living room. Not ideal...but that's how it works here. We have some desks in the living room and that serves as a place for some to eat. We also have a counter with a couple of bar stools (it's not like a regular kitchen counter but has an overhang for stools under it). The kitchen and the living room are basically one huge room with the counter in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
