A job well done

There really is nothing to match the feeling of satisfaction you get after completing a task. Especially a really hard task that you really, really, really didn't want to do!

Today the kids and I tidied the kids rooms!! Wa wa waaah!

Several bombs had hit over the last week or so and the devastation was total. I was led to believe that there should be a bed in each room. And Thomas was of the firm opinion that there had once been a floor in his room, with a carpet! He was not, however, able to hazard a guess as to the colour of said floor covering.

Megan's room had been totally taken over by a very rowdy bunch of stuffed animals. Some, though very well dressed, looked as if they had been at an all night party!

But, when the going gets tough, the tough tend to head for the door...but not today! Today we had a job to do, and by golly I was going to make sure we saw it through!

And boy, was it worth it!!!

By jove, there is a bed!

It's green! The carpet is green!

Thomas worked very hard to clear the top of his desk. He also cleared everything off the floor and put lots of clothes out to the charity shop. (I wish he would stop growing so fast!!)

He was really pleased with himself...as was I. He worked hard.

Squish up there guys!

She needs BIG cuddles!

Megan's big problem was finding a place for all her babies. She first had to clear up all her clothes and then all the surfaces in her room (of which there are many!). Once that was done, we were able to house most of the menagerie. Those left on her bed are the ones (she assures me) that she cuddles to get to sleep! What can I say...she loves her teddies!

So, like I said... a job well done! They were duly praised and were delighted to be able to show daddy when he came home. And, of course...they got hardly any help from mammy! Did it all themselves!!

Today I am grateful that I was there to help...in any way I could.

Gratefully yours.
