Do you remember at the the beginning of this month, I welcomed you into my home? I swore by the end of my commitment to Nablopomo, I would have cleaned up enough to bring you upstairs- and true to the procrastination tendencies I have, I spent the majority of my afternoon "spring cleaning" Sarah and Ashleigh's room. Their room is like a vortex of toys, papers, books, shoes, clothing, bedding, stuffed animals, small plastic things that poke the bottom of your feet when walking around. They have organized boxes, but do you think they use them? No. Do you think I've tried to teach them to use them? Yes. I've turned into a broken record.
Anyway. So, walk up the stairs and turn right, you'll see Lolo's room. Until today, she was merely using the room to take up a night's sleep in:
But decided that she had more than enough room for some of the toddler toys congesting Sarah and Ashie's room.
If you keep turning right, you'll see the place everyone plays when the come to visit. I have to give you a full tour –since the girls and I dripped sweat in order to make it look presentable…
From the door:
The bunk bed:
Opposite the bed:
Sarah bought that little Barbie clock at a neighbor's garage sale. She's so fond of it!
Here's their closet that is apparently a good place for catch-alls. If only you knew what I've found in there:
If you come up the stairs and walk straight, you'll find yourself in our laundry room. It's so tiny and full of clothes, I didn't think you needed to see that.
If you walk left, you'll visit Andy's office which we lovingly refer to as "The Hole" (picture tomorrow) (I thought I had one in the catalog, I'm not sure where it is now).
If you turn and keep strolling left, you will visit the girls' bathroom:
And turn and walk left once again, you'll be in our bedroom.
(insert picture tomorrow once I take it)
Walking past our lovely sleigh bed, you will meet our bathroom which is (ahem), larger than my bedroom I grew up in, if you can believe it:
My panoramic picture taking skills could use some practice…
And through that magical door, is my closet. I mean OUR closet. Or, our extra bedroom. It's huge. Bigger than anyone in suburbia should need or have.
Andy's side:
My side:
My shoes take up occupancy on Andy's side with the nice shelving, though.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and visit our home- if you find yourself passing through Southwest Ohio, be sure to stop by, we'd love to have you over! And give me a few weeks notice, it take me that long to clean up my daughters' room!

Thank you faithful readers for stopping by during the blog-every-day-in-the month-of-November-marathon. I always forget to add in "blogging" as one of my hobbies, but I really do enjoy it. High on the list of reasons is because of your presence!
I will be taking a few days to recuperate and see what other shenanigans we can stir up that might be blogworthy. See you soon!
Thank you all for playing!
