One vs. the Other

Why does it take ten times as long to clean Kylie and Sadie's room as it does Brynlie's? The answer to this question lies in an examination of their rooms on a typical day.

In Brynlie's room you may find several toys, a stack of books, some dirty clothes, a couple of blankets, and maybe even a diaper or two.


In Kylie and Sadie's room there are clean clothes that haven't even been unfolded but were in the way of other clothes in the drawers, clean clothes that were worn for less than a minute, clean clothes that were only worn long enough for the wearer's mood to change, semi-clean clothes that were worn for only a few hours, semi-clean pants that had to be taken off when wearing a dress, dirty clothes that were worn to school, dirty clothes that are only dirty because something was spilled on them 5 minutes after they were put on, peed on panties hiding in the corner, panties that weren't "fresh" enough, socks that got wet when walking in the bathroom after bath time, socks that were no longer needed now that toes were warm, clean dress up clothes, dirty dress up clothes, clean church dresses that were only worn long enough for mom to yell at the wearer to take off the church dress, wrinkled church dresses that were bumped off the hanger while others dresses were pulled down, dirty church dresses that were worn while mom wasn't looking, dress up clothes that were pulled down from the bag of clothes that the girls were grounded from and wait...what it this? There is stuff UNDER all the clothes?!!

Yeah, that's why we don't have girls. Such high maintenance! By the way, where are all the husbands on these blogs. Am I different? Am I the only guy that likes blogging? Should I be worried?

I thought you were going to show the room messy. I should have known better.

Cody- I warned you that is was a girl thing!

That is too funny! I am sure Brinlie will be catching on soon. They sure are all girl.

Hi, I found you page through the West's. It is good to know that Teniyah is not the only crazy little girl out there. Her room is a constant disaster. But girls are so much fun.

I agree with the comment that is why you don't have girls. I love your explanation of it all but was hoping for a picture of all the mess :)

Hey, I stumbled upon your blog :) I hope you don't mind :) I hope your baby is feeling better! I am so sorry that she and you had to go through all of that. I am so excited to have you as my new partner in primary, I just hope you are really up to the challenge! I have a blog too, but it is private, if you want an invite email me at heatherdejong@comcast.net.
P.s. You have such a cute family!

Aspens room is the same way - and today, it is partly that way because her and Sadie were up there yesterday. It was funny, Sadie was the only one who wanted to play dress up, so I think she went through 3 of Aspen's outfits.

Gotta love it!
