I thought Little Lil was on the up, but she took a nap late (called Chasing the Sun by my friend Amania). Amania lives in Guam with her family. She is a super mom to 3 kids. I yearn to be there as it is "hotter than a pistol" by 10am and the humidity index is around 110%! The Chasing of the Sun caused her to wake up grumpy in a big way.
I will be keeping the LLM at home tomorrow, and visiting our regular ped for a diagnosis. I'm not confident that the ER doctor who hustled us in and out gave me a clear picture of what is going on with her. The ER doc talked to us for a total of 4 minutes and he had a pack of Camels hanging out of his scrubs pocket. We spent 4 hours in Urgent Care. Now I'm rambling. But the dude had the bedside manner of a wet paper towel.
So- today I did manage to clean and de-clutter. The house looked worse before it looked better. I managed to clean all of my woodwork with Murphy's Oil Soap. The scent is heavenly. And the Christmas decor is down! YAY!!
Here is our "new" playroom (no dollars spent!):
The picture ledge was made by my dad for me last year for Christmas and we just now put it up. The thingy below it is an old shelf that dad cut to size. My mom covered it in fabric and we put hookers on it to hang our dress up clothes. I need 3 more hookers.
The art desk is a gift from my parents.
The "reading nook" in the corner is a mosquito net thingy. BLM loves this. She had all sorts of things strung out in here today. She swears she is sleeping in her Hannah Montana blow up bed in here tonight. I'm sure she'll start there but will end up in her own bed.
This is the thingy you see in the right hand corner of the picture above. It is a Jump Smart trampoline that Santa brought. Below is a picture of BLM enjoying it on Christmas morning.
I still have serious de-clutter to take care of in the playroom. I'm going to get a big trash bag out and kick its ass tomorrow.

Looks great!
When can you come over here and clean up my playroom? I'll even be nice and show you around D.C. as payment. :)
I can't keep my house clean. I swear I could mop every freaking day...and uh, the kids rooms, as soon as I clean one, the other is a mess. I can't keep up, aarrrgghh! :))
Smoochie Frog- You don't need me, you need Mimi (my mother). I have to get her to do my stuff for me. I am lost without her and things don't get done.
I'll send you her email address so you guys can hook up. She's really good at using architectural salvage. I love architectural salvage. I even have dreams about it.
Jennifer- None of us can keep up. It's just life!

Love the reading nook! Now why didn't I think of that !!??! LOL
Oh, I totally ganked that reading nook idea from another online Momma who is the queen of decor. I ganked the clothing hanger idea from her too. She's awesome!

The playroom looks great! I was going to get some hooks this week for our dress up, but I think I like your idea better....
PS I have not heard the word "ganked" in FOREVER... It brings back such good memories.... Back in the day when I was young...
"Ganked"...Laughed my ass off on that one! I too cleaned today...spent 6 hours in my daughters room...3 trash bags full of crap later and it looks like it could be in a magazine...I love clean rooms!
Amy~
Ganked is coming back. Please work that into your daily vocab please.
oh man! I really badly need to do this tomorrow!
Awesome girly space you have for the LM's. Love it. I want a reading nook! That is such a cute idear. I think I'll "gank" it from you, hehe. Pssssst... enjoy your Mama's help. Mine is like that too and I miss her dearly.
Hey, Ethan got that Jump Smart trampoline for Christmas too. He LOVES it. Although, he likes the music on LOUD, and it is a little annoying.
Love the playroom! I am totally stealing the clothing hanger idea! It looks SO great! :-)
You love to clean, huh? I've got an 800 sq ft apartment that is in desperate need of some lovin'.
That playroom is adorable. Sigh...come decorate for me.
Looks fun! I hate cleaning but LOVE the way it looks once it's done.
I am so jealous of your and Mimi's decorating skills! I need both of yous!
You rock, mama! I hope the lil is feeling better.
Love that playroom! I'm gonna guess your favorite part was those vacuum tracks on the floor, no? Sorry I missed out on the pre-holiday mexican food fiesta. Come back soon!
I did notice the vacuum tracks as well. That's always my favorite part, they just don't last too long at mi casa.
Anyhow...LOVE the playroom! What great ideas. I know the LM's are lovin it too. Looks very welcoming for some fun play time!
Super cute room! Way to go! I love it! I hope everyone is well!
So I saw this magnet and realized it was PERFECT for you!!

Wow, santa brought us that same trampoline. LO has been hopping on it for five days now. (BTW, wasn't it a pain to put together?? I have rope burns on my hands from it!)
I just found the answer to my previous question! I have a housekeeper & my house is destroyed w/in 30 mins. after she leaves. I feel your pain!
Playroom lookin great my friend! I love the thing on the wall that your daddy made.
Um, I'm not even a wee one and I want that playroom! Awesome!
