    Sending my daughters off to clean their room is the best way I know of to keep them happy and playing quietly. Except for the occasional shriek of rage… 😀

    Great picture and perfect idea. I love it when my kids play and laugh together. It doesn’t get much better than that.

    That always happens to me when I say ‘no TV until your rooms are clean.’ The rooms usually stay messy, but the giggles coming from said messy room are worth it! 🙂
