Spray-On Adhesive from Lowe’s

Just before the much-anticipated arrival of Santa Claus, we were paid a visit by the Organization Fairy.  This is that special time of year when a slew of new toys disrupts the shelf organization and overall layout of playrooms everywhere:  bin labels no longer match the toys inside; puzzles and boxes no longer fit squarely and line up on the shelves; and long-forgotten toys just look lonely.  Santa’s chief elf can’t have that, so advance preparation is required. 

The Lowe’s receipt reflects two purchases, an air compressor for daddy and a can of heavy duty spray-on adhesive for mommy.  On Christmas Eve, Lily and I smelled it all the way downstairs.  Puzzled, we headed up for a look.  Here’s what we found: 

Toy bins with new labels, complete with manufacturer’s logos for the littlest helpers among us who can’t read yet.  Mommy says if you spray the adhesive on both sides, it’s permanent.

For the toys no one likes any more, all batteries were removed, tested and sorted for disposal.  The toys were then boxed, labeled and placed in storage for future possible use.
