Cleaning: Part 2

I know you all stayed up last night wondering if the boys cleaned the playroom.  Well, this is what the room looked like this morning...

If you thought, as I did, that the boys were going to man-up and clean then you would be wrong.  Just as I was.  Sadly I came home from work to discover that the playroom was just as I had left it.  We are not parents who give empty threats, so I rolled up my sleeves and got to work.

This is all of the confiscated stuff.  Not sure what my system will be for getting it back, but I don't even need to think about that for at least a week.

Cleaning

A bomb must have gone off while I was sleeping last night.

Keep in mind I am showing you the cleanest part of the room.

The boys have been down there "cleaning" for over an hour already.  Big trash bags will make an appearance tonight for anything not put away (the right way) by the time they go to bed.  Yep, I am a mean mom.  I think I could even be considered the meanest mom ever.  At least that is what John and Gus are saying.

11 hours until bedtime...think they will make it?

Basement/Playroom

As bad as this room was, it didn't get done until a couple of days before our open house.  All I can say is it is amazing what a coat of paint can do.

After

The boys art gallery.  John felt everyone needed a peak.

Now I just need to do something with the stairs.
