Cleaning? out the Van

So, I use the word "clean" a little loosely when I talk about what we're actually doing to the van. 
This is what we're actually doing.
1. Playing in the van.
2. Removing the two or three sets of winter gear.
3. Removing the two or three kid bags.
4.  Sweeping the crumbs of unknown kid snack food for the dog or for the kids, whoever gets to it first.

Jack could play in there forever with all the buttons and switches.  Most of them don't work.  My heater is on constant high heat defrost.  It's fine for now but when summer comes...
The radio doesn't work and I pulled out the CD changer when it refused to eject 4 brand new CDs.  I now am all digital music.  CDs don't stand a chance against the exploratory nature of my children.
So, that's pretty much all the fun buttons.  Oh, except the turn signals and wipers.

And the garage remote.  

I now take it out of the car before we go playing in it.
