To Clean or Not to Clean

So over the past two weekends, the girls have completely destroyed their room on Friday night and taken the entire rest of the weekend to clean it up. Unfortunately, half the time, the cleaning it up has been stuffing it under the bed. So at the end of my rope, I told the girls that if it wasn't done by Saturday afternoon (when I got home from VITA) then they would not be going to the birthday party for Nya on Sunday. Of course, when I returned home, it was not done.

Feeling sorry for the girls, I granted them an extension until Saturday night. Again, it wasn't done.

In a last ditch attempt to get it finished, I extended the deadline to Sunday when I was leaving for the party. The party started a 3pm, and was about 30 minutes away, so I needed to leave at 2:30. At 3pm, I was finally walking out of the door and the room was still not done. As I walked out the door with Logan in tow, the girls are at the front door screaming bloody murder about promising to get it done. I felt horrible, but still didn't give in and take them with me.

By Sunday night the room was still not clean and as of this moment, it is still a mess! I am at a loss as to what to do to get them to clean it!!


Logan had a fun weekend. He went to the birthday party on Sunday. Although he started out acting really shy, he warmed up to my friend's boyfriend (and Nya's daddy) pretty quickly. He loved running around the yard and chasing bubbles with Nya. Although in a terrifying, yet hysterical coincidence, he was jumping around and nearly fell on a butcher's knife in the yard. My poor friend was mortified (we were at her sister's house) and couldn't believe that it happened. thankfully, I saw the knife in time and was informed that it was dull (not that I think that if he fell on it it wouldn't make a serious injury).

On our way to drop Logan off at the babysitters house on Monday, Logan decided that for my birthday (this Friday) he is going to make me some orange juice. He is also going to pick all of the seeds out because I don't like seeds in my orange juice.
