I might post them today, after 'the mother's touch'. Their version of 'cleaned up' and mine are simply not quite the same! I do want them to learn but often I hear my mother's reminder to 'help them and show them, don't just tell them'. I think it might be my turn to 'show' them today.Well, I'm off to dust and tidy;))Janet Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10126248666972072628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4504381264366497570.post-49977327414997032312013-01-16T10:12:13.909-05:002013-01-16T10:12:13.909-05:00Yes, we all want to put our best, picture-perfect ...Yes, we all want to put our best, picture-perfect photos out there... I confess, I'm not as brave as you!! We all have messes ~ thanks for sharing yours :) <br /><br />By the way, I agree it's a good idea to let kids learn to clean up their messes, at least sometimes. I grew up with a mom who kept a very tidy home... and I loved not having to do chores, until I was out of the house & married!! You're helping your kids by letting them learn now, rather than on their own, later :)Lilac & Lavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18310795393642483522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4504381264366497570.post-894956768164434562013-01-14T15:10:20.906-05:002013-01-14T15:10:20.906-05:00:) Maybe I'll 'reward' them with a ...:) Maybe I'll 'reward' them with a 'redeeming' after-photo; maybe:)Janet Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10126248666972072628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4504381264366497570.post-2630034991674585922013-01-14T14:59:28.555-05:002013-01-14T14:59:28.555-05:00You are very welcome!

Maybe I missed her 'mess' in her lovely photos but as far as I could tell, no mess. suddenly I felt like a complete failure! So I decided to post my Monday morning mess, unedited except, for the sake of my kids, kicking some dirty underwear out of sight;)) Thank-you for understanding and again, for the smiles.

But then again, there's poetry in the mess, too :-)Sasha A.
