Pfft. That’s nothing! My son has a friend who visits (and I DREAD him coming round) and he literally goes through every toy box, cupboard and shelf, emptying the contents onto the floor - and THEN he’ll pick what to play with.
Isn’t that just the way it goes? When you’re watching them, they’re little angels, but turn your back, and all bets are off! Lucky (for them), they’re so cute…
Oh, that looks just like my daughters room! I make her clean it up, but it only takes a moment for it to return to it’s natural state of messiness. Oh well…maybe one day it won’t be like that!
~K
Oh boy, that brings back memories of our toddler days! They can cause destruction quicker than any tornado I ever encountered, that’s for sure! In fact, we nicknamed our second born “Hurricane Holly” for that very reason! Happy WW!!!
Please, my husband makes that kind of mess just getting dressed in the morning. Have some coffee (or wine) and walk away!!!! *Just kidding, it really does suck!
I’m not looking forward to that.. At this point, my little one can’t wander by himself so I watch him closely and can sometimes clean up as he’s playing. Hee hee. But it’s getting harder as he’s moving around more to look for things to play with. :p
No need to eXplain. I feel your pain! That same tsunami has swept through here, leaving similar devastation in it’s path (albeit a bit more pink & purple than yours)…
My favorite housecleaning quote: “My house is clean enough to be healthy, dirty enough to be happy!” One of these days I’ll have it made into a plaque . . .
Oh my! I can certainly relate. And then when I tell them to clean up their mess, they look at me with confusion. Their body language tells me, “This mess? I didn’t do this!”
Yikes!!!!!! A tornado has hit your home….hmmmm I’m sure I’ve seen that many times when my 2 were younger
You’ve refreshed my memory on nightmares!! hahahhaaa
ahahaha KAren! Since you did a WW on this, you should definitely do the other one (tuesday something) to show the transformation…LOL remember what I told you right?

Oh my goodness! I feel your pain. Evertime I see toys with more than 5 pieces I put them back on the shelf because it just drives me nuts!
Elaine August 6th, 2008 at 2:16 am #

Amy @ The Q Family August 6th, 2008 at 7:08 am #
I can totally relate. It seems no matter how often we clean up the room always looks like that.

How did you sneak in my house and take that picture!
At least I know now it’s just not my kids that can rip a room apart in a matter of seconds!
Thanks for stopping by my WW and I hope you have a great day!

I’ve been there! It doesn’t take long to create a huge mess that ends up taking forever to clean up.

Looks just like my family room does, 75% of the time (i.e., when the kids are awake!).
Kelsey August 6th, 2008 at 7:35 pm #
Ah yes and THAT looks like what happens when my family explodes.
