I think it's so easy to just post the nice, sweet and harmonious things on a blog. Yet that's not how our lives usually are, is it? Well, not mine anyway. I mean, we are super blessed, and I truly am happy, but it's still not all roses....
I certainly don't want anyone to think I'm super woman, so I'm going to show you what some of the rooms I showed you last week look like on those not-so-rosy days.
Happy, Hanna???? :-))
The boys' room, where Legos start to pile up if there is no more room to play next door
The school- and playroom
Our "office" - I know that THIS is a sad sight. We had some water damage a couple of years ago, and had to remove some shelves. Ever since then the Chaos has been unbelievable, but we're currently working on it. (I also think that this is where my passport will show up!!)
And then the rest of the basement is pretty much Rokenbok City. This play system takes up a lot of room, and it's pretty much a maze...
Hanna also requested a picture of the Laundry room. I have to disappoint her, as my laundry room is NEWLY cleaned and picked up. I have just a little bit left, but it's almost DONE! Yeah!Yes, we LIVE in our house, that's for sure :-). I recently saw a picture on another blog of a kitchen that was absolutely stunning, but it looked like out of a catalog, and not where a family with children lives. That's not me, so - here you have it. The REAL me :-))))

I love those pictures. This is what my house can look like after a day of polly pocket, littlest petshop and barbie explosions. I'm not sure what's worse, legos or polly pocket pieces. Your pictures make me smile.
Love,

Interesting...hehe...
But it only shows like you were saying that a family actually lives in this place, I love the pictures!
Love,

Thanks Barb!!!!! That's how my house looks most of the time too! It always amazes me how fast it can become um, what's the word(s)....'a disaster area', and it takes sooooo loooong to clean it up. Such is life with kids....learning to be OK, living in CHAOS! Such fun;-)

Chaos? That's what my house looks like when it's CLEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought you were going to show us messy pictures!
When I spend my morning working on a particular room of the house, another room has been destroyed at the same time. Why bother? :)
Thanks for being able to laugh at yourself....I appreciate your openness.

I love it, Barb! You get an A+ for honesty. Now you need to add a couple of dogs to the mix and the dried grass they track in on a daily basis. ARGH!
