Busted

The boys come home from school with so many pieces of artwork, crafts, worksheets, flyers, and other items that I have to pare down in order to avoid having a house overrun with papers. I keep some items in a treasure box but the rest have to go. However, I did not do a good job of discarding these items discreetly.

#2 lifted the trash can and spied his artwork in the trash. He started to cry and I felt terrible. I said, "How did that get in there?" and pulled it out of the trash can and placed it back on the counter.

Mom of the year right here. Busted...
