I recently got a medium utility tote for my kids toys, it seems to be too small for the toys, i was just wanting some other ideas are to put in the tote. Thanks.

Answer
You don't say what size it is, but here are some places I use them:
Art supplies
Off-season clothing
anything you want to store in the attic
use it to keep tract of outdoor gardening items/tools/seeds etc
Emergency supplies for the trunk of the car ( flashlight/first aid kit/disposable rain coat/gloves etc
Computer wires/disks/printer stuff/air in a can/stuff you don't use every day
Christmas packaging supplies like extra paper/tape/ribbon/bows/name tags
Cleaning supplies for the cars, garage tote with windex/paper towel/Armorall/chamois/rags/wax/buffer
Games/puzzles/"rainy day" activities
Stuff for the pets: shampoo/flea spray/brushes & combs/nail cutter etc
old documents you want to keep: the kids old school work, letters, maps, photos and newspaper clippings. The list goes on and on..

How to get outdoor dogs to become indoors?

Beans

I have 2 8 month old puppies. Until about 2 months ago, they were indoors but then they started chewing on everything and we had a big flea problem. I have flea bombed thehouse twice and treated them every 3 weeks, yet I find them still chewin at their behinds and the occasional flea jumps on me on the couch. I want them to be inside dogs but it seems like when they are inside, I have to gate off the hall that leads to the bedrooms because they will chew on the kids' toys. this isnt fair to my kids to not be able to access their rooms. They also get all wound up and start biting each other. They never bite the kids but my son has been warned by them with nips for pulling hair. My beagle NEVER lets me know when she needs to go out. The husky will bark but the beagle just sits at the door and if I dont see her, she will find somewhere else to go. I can see the look in her eyes when she is trying to get away with it in the house rather than outdoors. I know puppies are puppies but help?!
I only HAVE -2- dogs. One is a beagle and One is a Husky. Not 4, Im not THAT crazy. No the dogs dont BITE, the nip lightly to let him know that he is hurting them by pulling. He never cries, just laughs. We chose to get dogs and Im not getting rid of them just like that. Please dont judge our household. All Im requesting is info on how to tame them alittle more so they are not bouncing all over or chewing up toys. YES I get them their own. The beagle doesnt play with any the the Husky eats them. They never last more than a week. I buy toys that are supposed to be chewtastic, but she tends to tear them up anyways unless they are ropes and she doesnt play with those. She likes plastic! <Most of my kids' toys of course>. I dont have the ability to take them to Puppy school. My husband is militarya nd gone and Im home to take care of 3 children. They are not bad pups, just excited easily. The husky tends to bark and whine all night when crated and the Beagle pulls on walks. Thats it.

Answer
Have you gotten the puppies their OWN toy's? Puppies needs toys, usually this will help them to leave things alone that are not their own. It sounds as if they are both letting you know that they need to go, "one barking" "the other standing by the door" so the puppies are actually doing good. Either you will just have to keep in mind to keep an eye on them, "be able to do so as well" and let them out when they are telling you "in their own ways" or you will have to gate off a specific room for them "laundry or bathroom" or you will have to make them learn to live outside. Puppies are going to play, bite, growl, and bark at one another. Are they trying to bite the kids, or nipping at them playfully?
Maybe puppy school is in order then.
