We either scan them in befored recycling, my kids could draw 5 pictures a day when on school breaks. Or we take a picture of them holding the project/drawing up. Like Kristin, 4 kids produce a lot of stuff.
Now, I do have a problem with the toys. I think we're turning the house into toyland. I can't seem to part with their toys.

We have grandparents buying for 4 and it builds quick, we have a toyroom as well as the dining room converted into a play area. Little People town, Hot Wheels town and half the Imaginext village. Besides legos, etc. My mom bought them a ball pit, a climbing wall, and a tent/tunnel set. My DH wanted to cancel Christmas before she found anything else big to buy.

So if anyone has suggestions
