• Yet another reason why I want to be MacGyver when I grow up

  Belts!
  
  

  First, there was the belt *box*.
  

  
  

  That worked for awhile, then we had more kids.  And more belts.
  

  
  So then I moved up to a *bigger* belt box.
  

  
  

  
  This was really more of a frustration maneuver.  I had nowhere to put the growing cache of belts, so I just grabbed the first empty box I found.  Well, that just left a pile of belts in front of the belt box every morning.  All that digging around for just the right belt, right?
  
  

  So then we moved on to the belt *hanger*.
  

   
  

  Just move the circle around until you get to the belt you want, and "Voila!"  But, then the little rubber things on each end of the circle fell off, then so did all the belts.  And, really, didn't it just take way too much patience and effort to spin that ring around anyway?  Back to belts all over the floor.
  
  

  So, now.  I'm trying a row of belt *hooks*.
  

  
  

  All neatly displayed and whatnot, right?  My main concern is that one of the kids will just pull it right out of the wall.  I mean, hooks are for hanging *on*, not just for hanging, as far as they know.  Just ask my bath towel hooks.
  
  But I won't give the kids any ideas if you won't.... here goes nothin'!
