Mary Poppins came to visit…
Just a spoon full of sugar
Helps the medicine go down
The medicine go dow-own
Medicine go down
Just a spoon full of sugar
Helps the medicine go down
In the most delightful way
For one month I’ve tried to get Parker to clean his room.
You’ve seen the photos, you couldn’t even walk into his room.
The floor was completely covered!
Parker’s room was so out of hand that I simply refused to clean it.
Parker would ‘try’ to do it himself…
which usually consisted of him picking up toys and piling them on his bed.
At night, when it was time to sleep,
all the toys would be shoved off onto the floor again.
Well thank goodness Mary Poppins came to visit today!
She worked miracles!
Mary moved the desk out from the wall and cleaned behind it, she cleaned out drawers, she moved the bed and cleaned out underneath it, she cleaned out the closet, she even moved the TV and cleaned out behind it! Amazing!
I love Mary Poppins.

Wow! That was quite a job. I have seen similar rooms in my house.

I stole your site from Carrie…can you send Mary to my house next??
July 22nd, 2008 at 10:13 am
Love Mary Poppins, and especially love the way you’ve used that wonderful song in this post! I’m always on my girls to clean their rooms–it’s a continuing battle! And I can attest to the fact that it doesn’t get any better, the older they get. BTW, Aunt Julie needs help planning the rehearsal dinner for her son’s wedding, and needs your help. Plus, she’s giving away a complete set of Pop’rs in the bargain-the best way to encourage your family to Eat Their Veggies! Please drop in sometime and check it out!

I didn’t even notice the junk - I love your son’s planet wall. My little boy would absolutely love that. Please please don’t tell me you hand crafted it from a couple of sheets of brown paper because I have zero talent in that department!

Wow, can you send her down to Florida.. I really need her to clean my house. Cograts on being featured.

July 23rd, 2008 at 4:09 pm
My son is messy too and he’s only five. I took pictures of his room last week because I was going to show the world how messy one kid can really be. After hours of cleaning and organizing for him I decided I didn’t want to relive it in a post. But next time I might need to call in the help of Mary Poppins. Good job!
July 23rd, 2008 at 5:16 pm
This is too cool!!! I’m so excited for you! You are such a creative daughter with just a ton of talent! Now…did you get it from my side or your dad’s?? JK…keep ’shining’ sweetie!! Love ya to pieces!
