I've shown a picture of our living room before.
This is what it normally looks like.

But this summer, Spencer has taken over the room!
Notice how he's moved all the furniture so he would have
room to line up his train pages?
Notice the stacks of train pages on the mantel?
Notice the floor lamp and trash can teetering on
the window seat cushion?
Notice my eyes rolling? Oh, sorry..you can't see that!
So, in keeping with my motto of "Stay Calm and Carry On"..
I made the best of it and vacuumed while the furniture
was out of the way. :)
Betsy, this is great! Real life at its truest and finest. I love your attitude.
ReplyDeleteHey, MG ~ I was just on your blog reading about your 'real' life! :)
ReplyDeleteBravo, Betsy .... bravo!
ReplyDeleteVery wise choice. Making lemonade when the boys hand you a lemon or two, huh?
ReplyDeleteVacuuming! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteAll those pages...you gotta have room to line them up neatly to see the beauty of EACH one! ;)
Oh my stars, look at that alignment - (pun intended) ha ha Oh honey, that just makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteCan you hear me laughing?
ReplyDeleteYou are such a sweet mom!
Oh boy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Mom! At least he's too busy to go elsewhere, right?
ReplyDeleteMarcia ~ haha..yes, good point! I should just be thankful he isn't trying to escape!
ReplyDeleteAccen-tu-ate the positive! You go girl. (You have way more patience than I, I'm afraid.) It's still a nice living room though.

I need him to come over and move my furniture. It's been ages since I vacuumed behind it! :^)
ReplyDeletehello!

thanks for commenting on my blog
hope you don't mind if I shamelessly promote my latest blog post which is shamelessly promoting a new crafty charity project - please read it and if you feel able help advertise (or contribute in any other way) that would be FAB
Good motto, Betsy! Summer must really be an adventure at your house.
ReplyDeleteOoh, you are a clver girl. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd waht, pretell, exactly are train papers? Never heard of that and can't tell from photo.
Cozy living room, btw. Nice colours.
Jammmie ~ train papers, or 'pages' as spencer calls them, are pictures of trains that he has printed off the internet and taped together to make long rows. He folds them up into these huge stacks and carries them with him all over the house. They have to be stacked on his bedside table before he will go to sleep, too!
ReplyDeleteYou are one awesome Mom! What a lovely living room!
ReplyDeleteHooray for Keep calm and carry on! I like clutter actually... It's comforting and homey! I'm so glad that you got the memo that summer is supposed to be relaxing and fun!
ReplyDeleteoooh. now i got it! thank you. Ha-ha, you meant literally. how very funny.
ReplyDeleteGood girl with the vacuuming. I've been just checking out your blog and reading some entries. I see you love Nascar,,I mean Jeffy,lol (as I call him to my hubby who IS a wanna be nascar driver) and 'follower' of Jeff Gordon..Our rec room has become a Jeff shrine,,lol
