A little excessive?

So I was re-arranging my "coopy hole" in my room the other day--again (a little corner in my room that goes out over the stairs). When I started it was the location for: scrapbook stuff, our old computer, school stuff, misc craft stuff, pictures, picture frames, idea books, stuff to be scrapbooked (is that a word?), and many dust bunnies. One of the things I did was to put like things together. I had markers, pens, pencils, cards, scrap paper, pictures, etc.--a little bit everywhere. Once I gathered up all the pencils that C uses for school, I just had to count them and take a picture. And there are about 4-6 that are down stairs that didn't get in this picture/count. Any guesses? Guess before you look below the picture.

Here's a hint: he could use a new one every other day and not use them all through out the school year!

Now I will say there are a few in there that are specifically K's, but only like 3-5. She'll use them this coming year (I have to order school for her soon! AAHH!)

113!!!! Crazy.

WOW! That is a lot of pencils! Our children "collect" pencils when we go on trips. It is one thing they can afford and it doesn't take up much space. I guess come September, you won't have to buy any new pencils.

so glad to see a few NYY pencils in that bunch!

if c is anything like my first graders, they can sharpen the daylights out of pencils and go through a dozen in a day or two.
