Dumping Grounds

What is it about the act of dumping one's toys out of a bin that causes such glee in children? Is it the instant gratification of getting to what you want? Is it the loud sound that emanates from all of the toys scattering everywhere? Or is it just the plain, ol' mess left behind? Whatever it was, Katie, Michael, and their buddies Sam (almost 4-years-old) and Oliver (21-month-old) sure reveled in some good, old-fashioned DUMPING (with a capital D!!) during their playdate today. I honestly don't think there was a toy left untouched by the time these crazy kids were done. Please note Michael, pictured in what is left of the art bin. While his partner-in-crime Sam got the bin opened, Michael was the one who climbed in and decided to dump every last marker and crayon out of their respective boxes. Oh well, at least the kids had a fantastic day!
