Deep Thoughts

"Great things are brought about and burdens lightened through the efforts of many hands “anxiously engaged in a good cause.” Imagine what the millions of Latter-day Saints could accomplish in the world if we functioned like a beehive in our focused, concentrated commitment to the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ." M. Russell Ballard October 2012 General Conference

Not on My To Do List Today

So yesterday Cody had the brilliant idea to rearrange his room. He said that he had not done it for 4 years and since he has not liked having his TV on his desk he wanted to to the old switcheroo. So that was all well and good until the other boys decided that they wanted to rearrange their rooms too. This was so not what I wanted to do today. It is not just a matter of moving the furniture but you have to clean under and behind the furniture once you've moved it before the other furniture can be moved into its place. That includes wiping the baseboards. OCD I know. So Connor and Caleb were able to manage pretty good on their own with a little help from Cody and dad. Oh yes, Cody was Mr. Helpy Helperton because this was all his doing! I did not want to move Cayden's around because A. His room was a mess from last night and B. There were many other things on the agenda today-none of which included the rearranging of rooms. He was so sad though because we told him no a few times and plus he moves his kitchen, his nightstand and the toy box almost on a daily basis anyway we thought we could just get away with moving those around again but OH NO we had to move the bed because everyone else moved their beds. Need less to say it took all morning and so the numerous things on my to do list are not getting done. The rooms look ok now and at least the boys are all satisfied.

Caydens' room looking in from the door-the bed used to be on the opposite wall. Connor and Caleb's room looking in from the door-both beds are on the window wall with a nightstand in between and their tall dressers are opposite the beds.

Cody's room looking in from the door. His bed is now on the big wall with the dresser opposite it. The window is on the left side of the bed if you were on the bed. The other boys are playing Dance Dance Revolution in there.

I totally understand wanting to move the furniture around. That's the only time under the bed and behind the furniture gets cleaned in my house. Thanks for the pics. Their rooms look really good. And thanks so much for the post.
