Cleaning the playroom, that is. It was out of control. This is not an out of ordinary event, as anyone who visits our home quickly finds out. However, each time I spend 5 hours cleaning and organizing this *lovely* room, I swear to both myself and the kids that I will never do it again. It's their responsibility. But alas, 4-5 weeks later when every toy imaginable is on the floor, including sticky lolipop sticks and crumbled leaves from outside, I admit defeat and hang my sorry head as I march back into the room 'o toys.
But this time is different. This time, I'm serious. No more! I sent Madison in alone today to do the work by herself and she didn't enjoy it one bit. After many lectures and even more breakdowns (and, finally, a little help from mom), the playroom is clean. Madison spent a whopping 4+ hours cleaning this room today and I hope beyond hope that it was a wake up call for her, because I explained that the next time she lets the room get to this point, I will not come to her rescue.
We both agreed that spending a little time before bed each night might be the answer to her troubles of keeping the room clean, so we will see!
Oh, how I wish I had taken a before picture!!!
