I have been telling the boys for a while that we have to get their room ready for their 2 little brothers. They are so excited, but cleaning just isn't their thing. Drew likes to be organized, but bless his heart...he shares his room with Luke, and all organization goes out the window with Luke.
Tonight I told the boys, we are using the next 5 days to clean out, get organized, and put the toddler bed and crib in your room for Landon and CJ. Now, I am not a decorator. I love for things to look nice, but it is not a priority for me. We have a clean house...things go where they belong, and we have a house full of love and fun, but not decorator type things (this won't shock you when you see pictures of the boys' room :-) I told the boys, "Start with your closet. That has to be cleaned out first." Well, Mike and I were downstairs with the girls. I noticed quiet upstairs, and every once in a while one of them would come downstairs with garbage or an item for our "garage sale" bag. After almost an hour, I thought, "This is almost scary. I need to go check on this."
WHAT.
IN.
THE.
WORLD???
Almost every shirt that the boys owned was hung up somewhere...the light switch, the bed (as you can see), pictures on the wall, in the bathroom...everywhere. And the kicker? They were so proud of themselves (again, as you can see in the first photo). They really felt like they had made progress because all of their shirts were now hung up. Well, I can't complain. I said "Start with the closet." They started with the closet. This is going to be a bigger job than I thought. :-)
