I love boxes, bags, 'n baskets - quick storage idea

The hubby and I have gone out of the way to ensure we have a playroom in our house. This is because our children are spoiled from every angle. With each holiday that clicks by we amass more "long" toys. What I mean by that is toys that don't seem to fit any where else because of  their length. Swords, lace umbrellas, dart guns, more swords, butterfly nets, and princess wands. This also includes those really long-light up-spinning-scepter toys that Aunts buy at the circus.  So, what did we do to get all these pieces wrangled up?  Enter laundry hamper.  The length makes it a perfect fit. We chose one that opens wide so it cannot be easily overturned and the cloth can be removed to be washed if needed. Another advantage of the metal frame of our basket is being able to hang "stuff" from it.  In the picture is a net pocket (stolen from my umbrella stroller) that we now use to store our ammunition. Bear in mind a lid may polish the look up a bit it will also limit the length of the objects stored. Major retailers nation-wide are currently filled with laundry hampers because of students heading off to college.  So, what are you waiting for?  Next time a major battle between pirates and fairies takes place clean up will be a breeze and peace will reign once again.
