If you give Kelly Christmas, she's going to reorganize the entire house....

One of our favorite books or series of books for the kids are the If You Give a Moose a Muffin books:
If You Give a Pig a Pancake
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie
If You Give Kelly Christmas

So you've never heard of the last one, but I'm telling you it's going to be the next in the series. 

It goes a little something like this:

If you give Kelly Christmas, she's going to want to put the new presents away.  She'll realize there's no room, so she'll put some of the old toys away.  When she puts the old toys away, she'll realize that the storage room needs to be cleaned out, so she'll move everything out into the living room.
Once everything is out, she'll realize how much room some new shelves would create so she'll ask her husband to build her some. 
After the shelves are up she'll see the other shelf that can come out of storage and be fitted on a desk to add to the office area, but she'll have to switch desks from the sewing room to the office.  So she'll switch the desks around.  Once the desks are set up she'll realize the back half of the old office desk isn't finished and is now exposed, so she'll ask her husband to make a back for it.  He'll sigh.  Then he'll make the backing. 
Now Kelly will eat a cookie and keep going.
Kelly will now put everything back into the storage room in an effort to clean up her huge mess.  Once that's done she'll start moving all her sewing stuff from the new office desk to her new sewing desk, but she'll realize that she downgraded herself of space, so she'll need to go to Target and buy new shelves and drawers.  When she's at Target she'll see a shoe organizer and think how great that would be in the girls' closet and she'll pick that up too, because she obviously doesn't have enough projects on her plate now. 
So she'll get the shelves and put them together and realize she doesn't have enough room in her sewing room for them, so she'll have to reorganize her sewing room.  Once that's reorganized she'll look back on the last month and shake her head that this all started because a few toys needed to be put away. 
And those toys?....still aren't put away.
