apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Oh man. I know this scene. My nephews did something very similar to this on the day of my Highschool Prom, and took a little stroll on the couch too...Their mother was not pleased.
They just laugh now when I tell them what trouble makers they were.

Oh my goodness, what a mess!!!

But their sooooo cute:) They have that did we do something wrong? look

So cute since they are not mine!

Yikes! Looks like Dad left the room for too long!
Hang on to your sense of humor and show this picture at their wedding.

I know I was somewhat of a neat freak before I had children & still a little after my first child was born. I decided to chill out because it was stressing me out. I still clean on a regular basis, to include constant dishwashing & laundry almost every other day. I feel like such a pig though because my house can't seem to stay clean for even a minute with my 1 & 4 yr old girls. If I take a break hell breaks loose. Is it common for houses to look junky most of the time with young children. I am also currently a stay at home mom, & that makes me feel even worse.
