Note that this does not include the 5 jets and about 30 construction trucks that are scattered around in the backyard and sandbox. I'm thinking this is a tad excessive. I don't think I've actually bought more than 5 of them, I'm thinking Daddy and Papa are the culprits of this. I've now boxed up about 2/3 of them, organized all their toys and books and games, and they have been playing very well this week since they can actually find toys now.
Does anyone else have an excess problem?

LOL, I have done the same thing SEVERAL times. I am always amazed at how many of the toys I have not bought. Honestly I think we have bought the girls one toy for every birthday and christmas.
Considering then that I have taken bags (many bags) of Barbies, Baby dolls, dress ups, and stuffed animals to the thrift shop I think the Grandparents in my case are very excessive!!! And my girls do the same thing when I clean it all out they have so much fun because they can find toys that they couldn't before.
That is such a problem at my house! Every time I try to organize them, they just get unorganized in about 10 minutes. So many times I just want to donate everything :-)
I have the same problem but the culprit is me. I love buying toys, it's a sickness!
Oh yes. Plus I have all of Jake's old toys in Brandon's room. It is crazy. He doesn't even play with half of the toys in his room. I hate to get rid of them though.
YES - excessive respiratory books.
That is funny! A few years ago I put away a bunch of books we had and last week pulled them out. Both Alexis and Eli were in heaven checking out all these "new" books. I have to say we don't have a ton of toys here at our house. Neither Steve or I like to buy them.
My house is the same. Jackson has sooooo many cars, but he just loves them, so I can't resist buying them.
I have the same problem! Drew is obsessed with his little figurines and they are all over the place. Problem is he has them all memorized and notices when one is missing. This makes it really hard for me to get rid of them.
Do barbies count? It's funny how it's the cars for boys and then barbies for girls... what a night and day difference. I tell ya, if we ever get a boy he's gonna wish he were a girl, too many girl toys.. lol
