The mess is even in the hallway!I don't know how many times I am cleaning up kids rooms and putting them "back together" I thought it would be fun to take pictures of our typical "before" and "after" daily cleaning of the rooms. Sometimes I wish I had a playroom so we only destroyed one room instead of half of the house. The other reason I wish I had a playroom was bedtime. Carson will be content and lay down and go to sleep but soon enough he will be in his big boy bed and may climb out to play with his toys (not looking forward to that). Lets see last night I went in to Madison's room because I heard something and yes she was still awake playing with her toys instead of sleeping. Did I mention it was 11:30 pm? What a night owl. Would really be nice to have a place to "play" and a place to "relax and sleep". The kids need their own spaces and are learning responsibility to help clean up, right? Think our next room will be a 4 bedroom so we have a place to play together... We will see how that works.

You are much better than me. I drive myself loony running around cleaning up after the kids. I have a serious problem because I can't stand for the toys to just be everywhere. No matter how much I try to explain that they should just get one set of toys out at a time, they just don't get it. There will be much fewer messes when Grant starts preschool next week.
FYI - a playroom does help but tends to be more storage at our house as the kids always want to play where we are. I try to go in the playroom too but there are things I need to do and it isn't usually convenient to do them in there.
