John and I made a deal. I'd keep our room spotless for a month if he'd paint over Thanksgiving. (I needed a little encouraging--our room is the catch all for EVERYTHING). I ended up only making it two weeks (pathetic--I know) but John took pity on me and painted our room anyway and I am so thrilled to say good-bye to our boring white walls. Plus it was so cute watching Carter try to help John paint and climb up and down daddy's cool stairs (AKA ladder).The kids were telling Grandpa Durrant about our painting deal.
Kelsie: My mom had to have her room clean when my dad got home so he'd paint her room. (The kids were really good at supporting me in this and would check my room before dad got home to make sure it was clean.)
Kelsie: "But I don't think we are ever going to get our room painted." (So true!)
Emily thought for a minute and then piped in: "It's Carter."
"He's REALLY messy."

That's too funny. I love that "Mom" had to keep her room clean and the kids were the reminders. (Don't worry, you are not the only mom with a catch all room!!)
hahahahaha . .. still laughing . . .hAha! love the whole idea --you having to keep your room clean (as I look around my messy room) and Emily blaming Carter! Classic!
Your kids are so hilarious!
My room is a disaster, 99% of the time. It doesn't help that it is right across the hall from the laundry room and if I am in a hurry, I tend to toss clean laundry into my room to be folded at a later day. Fun to have new paint!
