Mucking Out Lou's Room

Lynn's picture

And I DO mean "mucking out." Stables ain't got nothin' on LouLou.

As you may have seen, Anhata and her husband Frank are adopting two little kids from foster care, tripling their children overnight! Since Josie moved into the downstairs guest room, Lou's had two beds in her room, the built-in bed that Jo slept in, and a wrought iron daybed. We gave Hata and Frank the daybed for their new daughter to sleep in until they found something else they wanted.

So we're taking the opportunity for a major mucking-out of Lou's room. So far, we've found long lost dishes, scissors she wasn't supposed to have, several reams of paper, rotten fruit, stolen packets of raisins and the lid off the caramel sauce, and we've collected a bathrooms' worth of laundry, some of it clean, some of it mine. What was she doing with my flannel sheet set and my Jayne Cobb, Mercenary t-shirt?!

LOL!!!!! It's amazing what all they collect in there, ain't it!? I'm surprised with some of the fooditems you listed that you haven't had a roach or mouse problem (my kids had candy hidden in theirs from halloweens, bake sales, birthday parties, etc. We DID have a mouse problem, the suckers would live UNDER the house in the crawlspace, climb up into the walls, and chewed thru the sheetrock to get in the house. And their favorite room--the girls room).

Now that DD11 is nearly into my shoe size, she has been stealing my favorite pair of boots! Keep an eye out on your shoes!

But that hasn't stopped either of them, the little monsters. No mousies because we have mousing kitties, and I have no idea why we haven't gotten bugs. Josie has one last chance to clean her room herself today, and then we go in and do it for her and throw out what we think needs thrown out, not what she thinks needs thrown out.
