Now I'm not saying that I grew up like Cameron Frye, where my house was cold and I couldn't touch anything, but my parents (Mom in particular), appreciate a clean house. It's only because she reads this blog -- thanks, Mom -- that I won't come right out and refer to her as a neat freak. That's much too harsh a term. A neat enthusiast is more appropriate.But I admire her for that. Honestly, I do. And apparently, AJ is taking note of her ways and offering her quite a bit of encouragement.
The following conversation took place on Tuesday of this week between AJ and Mom-Mom:
Mom-Mom: Don't come in yet AJ 'cause Mom-Mom has to turn off the alarm, okay?
AJ: Okay . . . WOW, oh my gosh!! Do you see this house?? It is soooooo neat. How do you do that? I can't believe it!
Mom-Mom: Well, AJ, when Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop are done with their "things", we always put them away.
AJ: Yeah, but Mom-Mom, I put my things away and it NEVER looks like this! It's amazing!!
Ahhh. What can I say? My house? Not so much. And by the way, AJ doesn't always put his "things" away. The things a 4 year old will try to score some Mom-Mom points. Geez.

Come by and collect your trophy. LOL
Ha! That is too funny. Our house too, is not the "perfect" house, but it is quite comfy and cozy, just the way a house with 4 kids should be!
oh if only my house could be neat...but with 5 of us here...yeah it ain't happening!
Love your blog btw :)
