Farts-o-rama!
I've been merrily hauling bags of unbelievably weird trash that has accumulated (why? how?) out to the dumpster. The kids have been trotting behind me, and it's become a kind of procession.
I throw open the lid (Bang!)
I toss in the bag (Bang!)
We all yell "Farts-o-rama!" with arms flung into the air.
I close the lid (Bang!)
Then we do it again. Farts-o-rama!
And again. Farts-o-rama!
This last couple of times, we've added giggling and shouts of "Buh-bye!" to the cycle, and the kids all have to pat the dumpster.
I think we're onto something big.

I love it! I've gotta try that approach myself!

I just laughed out loud at this. I am 31 years old, and I am going to start yelling "Farts-o-rama!" for fun. While I am quite certain that I would have come to this on my own in time, thanks for getting me there faster.

Go for it! I love organizing and am not much of a "keeper". All the better when you can involve the children and have fun at the same time.

I want to come play at your house and play fart-o-rama with you.
I could just picture it and it made me smile.
You writing conjures up great imagery.
Can we play fart-0-rama in a break-out session in our discussion at the conference?
I REALLY want to!

You guys sound like a lot of fun. I mean, that would even get ME to clean stuff up!
