Today I am going to attempt the almost un-attemptable.
Clean the playroom.
I had such romantic ideas about having a playroom before we moved here.
"It will be fun and cute" I announced, to no one in particular.
"The kids will want to hang out there with their friends", I boasted.
"It will be comfortable and inviting" I hoped.
:(
Alas, it is almost none of these.
It has no room for a couch, so no comfort.
It has no blinds or paint, so no cuteness.
One thing it does have is friends. And siblings of piano students.
And messes.
Everyday.
We got a cool stage from the fun, and funky mind you, brookegfunk. The kids love putting on shows there.
It has an entertainment center (that we got from the Wild Wests) that is full of books, books, and more books. Oh, and a tv.
Our computer desk is in this room, which takes up valuable decorating space.
We built the kids a cool playhouse (if I do say so myself) last year out of the left-over pvc piping from our sprinklers and bed sheets. It's pretty neat. And big.
Therein lies the problem.
There's no room for anything else.
With my old barbie house that my grandpa made me when I was
little and the bins of toys, the room is chock-full.
I'm ready to outlaw all new toys.
No more space-taker-uppers.
I'm taking a stand.
It's crampin' my style.
