I asked Middle Boy to remove the items of his and Younger Boy's from the kitchen, dining room, family room area this afternoon in preparation for my high school small group coming over. 

He insisted they had very few things there that didn't belong.

I had him get a laundry basket to put them in.

After he filled TWO laundry baskets he said "I didn't realize we left this much junk laying around".

Yes...thank you for picking it all up.  Please don't take the baskets upstairs and empty them in the middle of the hallway.
