Fun on Friday- Put It Up

This should probably be included on a Great Quote Thursday. But, it's fun, so here it is.

Our house, with a 6 year old boy and an almost 3 year old boy, is full of activity. And full of trains. And balls. And toys. And art supplies. To say that frequent effort is made to keep things in order would be an understatement.

This past week, the following conversation occurred:
Tonya: What about these books?
Parker: You didn't tell me to pick up those.

So as a result of the above conversation, my wife began reminding our sons of the need to put things back in their place using the following mantra:

If you get it out, put it up.
If you see it out, put it up.
If you didn't get it out, put it up.

We'll see if this helps the cause.
