There is two parts to this story.
Part 1 →The first and last pics are of the kids rooms and how they look on a day to day basis. Owen's room for the most part is pretty neat and tidy. He always puts things away in a very detailed way. Noticed the lined up toys under the window!
Then there is miss Grace. Well, my Mom would laugh and say I got what was coming to me! I can hear my Moms voice taking over me when I argue with her over the cleanliness of her room. Almost always after I ask her to clean it she comes out, tells me she is done and I check in on what is supposed to be clean. However, all she has done was bulldozed the items from the middle of the flor the the walls. When I ask her if she thinks its clean she says "Ya!?"
Part 2→ Grace has planned to have a few girlfriends over this coming saturday. In preparation I told her she needed to clean her room. It is Thursday night and she had been in her room for about the last hour and a half when she came out and asked me to look at her room. Expecting the usual I go to give the Mom dis-approval only to find the picture below. It was beautiful, see middle pic. Notice the nice arrangement of stuffed animals on her chair! She is now busy making flower pens for her friends gift bags she is putting together! Such a sweet girl, she makes her momma proud!
