Last night we had two families over for dinner (thanks for a great night, Gs and Ds!). So of course we spent part of our afternoon tidying up, and by the time our guests arrived, our house was looking pretty good. And because we spent most of our evening outside grilling, eating, and playing on the swing set, our house still looked tidy by the time our friends left.
So explain to me how nearly every room of our house already looks like this, less than 24 hours later:
Is this normal? Does this happen at your house? And if not, how do you stop it from happening? I feel like we've got (relatively) good organizational systems and we definitely encourage the kids to play with one thing at a time and put things away before they move on to the next activity, but my kids can make my house look like a hurricane hit in less than half an hour. So please let me know if this is what your house looks like, too, or if I seriously need to work on tidying up with Caroline and William.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
What kind of mother are you anyway?
;)
Oh, this makes me laugh out loud!
Um, you've been to my house before. . .
And it makes me frickin' crazy!
Yep, this is how our house looks too! I swear it looks good when we go to bed and by breakfast, it is like Gremlins came in and destroyed the place.
try adding two med-big shedding dogs to the mix!
Hey I think that looks pretty good. Where is all the paperwork, mail, left behind shoes and piles of laundry to fold. And yes the shedding dogs!
um, what's wrong with your house?
