A Hard Lesson

It happens every year, but we never know when it will be.  Despite our best counseling, there is always a shelf-clearing day.  A day when EVERY block is off the shelf - more than could ever be played with in a day.  This photo shows only about half of what eventually wound up on the floor.

Then comes the hard part.

The children have to put them all away in their proper places on the shelves.  It takes FOREVER. 
No one ever needs to learn this lesson twice.  yay.
