Caddies

So here I was at the beginning of the school year trying to decide how to organize our school supplies.  Do I go the "village" route and throw everything in the middle for the kids to grab at their leisure, or do I segregate them into their own spaces?  Visions of quiet bickering turned into visions of rampant fighting which turned into full-on wrestling matches over who gets the big glue stick on the right.  Divide and conquer it was!

I bought these caddies at the dollar store and then decided that they just weren't fun enough.  And being that it's the beginning of the school year, and I'm all ramped up with motivation and good tidings, I was still energetic enough to try and make it fun (that energy quickly faded).  

Somehow over the last year, I had accumulated enough duck tape to fix all the furniture in a small trailer in Louisianna (I've lived in a small trailer in Louisianna, so I can say this).  The girls had a blast decorating their caddies, and I'm happy to say that there has been no fighting about school supplies:)
