My home is a 5 level split. The main floor is kitchen and living dining room. This area gets used at meal times only. The next level down is ground floor with a walk out to my fenced back yard. The living room in here gets used sometimes. I keep a small basket of toys on this floor and the kiddos play here as I prepare meals and snacks. The kitchen overlooks this floor so I can easily supervise. As well on this floor is the kids bathroom and the naproom.

The next floor down is one of the basement levels (I have 2) and I have turned the entire floor into a playroom. I have an old sectional couch down there, all the toys and craft supplies. There is a little table down there that they sit at if they want to colour or do thier puzzles.

I like this set up as at the end of the day my job goes away. I still need to make the main floors of my house tidy and presentable but if I don't want to deal with all the toys, or even just look at my "job" then I don't have to.
