Last week, the day James and I were leaving to go to Park city, I spent most of the morning cleaning my house. My mom was staying the night so I didn't want her to have to hang out in my clutter. I cleaned up the living, did the dishes, swept, mopped, cleaned off the counters AND table, cleaned up my room (hardly ever happens,) cleaned Lizzie's AND Edin's room and might have even cleaned the bathroom. I spent a lot of time in Edin's room because it really needed it. I got rid of a bunch of toys that are worthless and organized what was left. I put like toys together this time, which doesn't happen all the time because they just get dumped out and then it takes forever to put them all away again. Plus, Edin can't put them away in "like bins" when he helps. So basically I went all out for this cleaning. Then we put him down for a nap so he'd be well rested for my mom.
This is what I walk into after his "nap."
These pictures do nothing to depict the horror I felt.
And then I had to clean it all up. I looks so nice like this. Everything fits into these bins.
There goes Lizzie to destroy my handy work.

OH my gosh I would be so mad! I laugh because it's not my kid or my situation but oh man, I just stared in blank awe when I saw that.
PS-I need to get that for kody's toys and lol to lizzie going for the toys
wow! aaaayyyeee! I might have yelled. Edin's face is so classic.
Ha ha! Edin totally knows he wasn't helping! :)
That silly boy was suppose to help pick things up, too. He just started playing with everything instead. Yeah, I was ticked. But he's so cute.
Did you yell? I definitely might have yelled. Or cried. That is SO frustrating! Honestly, Whitney rarely helps clean up our toy room. Kallie's finally getting to the point where she helps--but even 4 months ago, she wasn't there yet. Glad that Edin's adventure is past now, huh? :D
Things to look forward too! Its the effort that counts.
Oh, I'm so sorry!
I am so glad you had the presence of mind to take pictures. This reminds me of when my kids were little. I remember walking in on a mess of clothes, toys, and baby powder all over Zack's room when he was 2 1/2. I took pictures then. It is funny.
