What happened?!

Kyle was home from work today and he helped me work on cleaning out Courtney's room and the toy room.  We didn't make it to working on the boys' room yet(but I did their room about a week ago...so you'd think you could tell.) When the kids got home from school, they went upstairs and Courtney was ecstatic.  We made the organization very simple in her room (and got rid of lots of clutter toys) so she can keep it up on her own.  The first thing she said was: "What happened to Ben's room??"  Ummm, nothing chica.  The difference is that YOUR room is now clean! Benjamin took one look at his room and said: "Did you leave my room like this to teach a lesson?"  No.  It took all day to do the other rooms!  

Any votes on how long Courtney's room will look this good?  She has a couple friends that are over all the time and the three of them together can make quite a mess super quick! (Although Courtney can definitely hold her own, too.)

That's funny she noticed Ben's room still being messy, but not that hers was clean. Good luck on keeping it clean, I give it a day, maybe less...

We'll try our best to hold out and not come over and mess it up...wait, Eva and I are coming over in the morning. Sorry, sista.

By the way, let me know what your ideas are - maybe my girls could learn your system and help Courtney clean up after they make messes. They have been known to clean on occasion ;)

I just wanted to comment about how funny we are both in the same scrappy class on js.com, that's insane. Bettie keeps saying we're the same person....
