That's how I put my stuff away... except luckily there are no windows on my bureau. :D
My kids never put stuff away how I would like it. I reorganize when they are not looking.

That's kind of a touchy subject. Their rooms can look like a tornado hit and when I suggest kindly (or in a loud manner, whichever) they put their stuff away where it goes (because it all does belong somewhere) I am informed it is already clean...sigh.
Yes, I totally have to be specific with my children. And even when I am specific, somehow, they still manage to do things their own way! :)
