Well having finished the babies room, there has been quite the argument between the kids as to whose room should be done next. The boys think theirs should be next, but Elizabeth looks at me with pleading blue eyes, begging me to do hers.
In order to settle this argument I asked the kids to clean their rooms and I would have you guys decide. Each child has briefly stated why their room should be next. In the comments, I ask that you vote for the child who has convinced you.
In no particular order we have
Elizabeth's Room
In her own words, she says "I would like my room to be next, so I can see all my Mum's creations come to life." - (Yikes, how's that for pressure)
The Boy's Room
Samuel says "Our room should be done next because even with the blinds open the room is dark and we need new draws. Elizabeth always gets a make over (hmm, Nana gave her new to us furniture, I haven't actually done anything in there since I moved Jack out for Madeleine's arrival)
Jack says "Our room should be done next because it's drab and lifeless" - Someones been watching too many home makeover shows with his mother.
So friends, the gauntlet has been thrown, please vote for the child who has moved you. Also take into consideration I asked them to clean and present their room as best they can.
Personally I think I am now a evil genius, I can happily disappoint the kids and tell them the world has spoken - How many times can I get to say that? HAHAHAHA - that was my feeble attempt at an evil laugh.
Voting closes next Sunday night at 8:30 pm at Australian EST. In the mean time I'll be wowing (or maybe not) with a few random crafts and maybe even a food post. otherwise known as organizing Christmas
Thanks for reading and please vote,

i have to say the boys room personally, they were both very convincing lol
ReplyDeleteAww bless em! I vote for Elizabeth's room as I love girly makeovers! They both are well deserved though.
ReplyDeleteE xx
the boys room, i agree with them
ReplyDeleteSorry Elizabeth l do love girly things too, and why wouldn't l after have 4 of them myself, but the boys room does look really drab. Sorry Mel for being blunt but l cant wait to see what you do with it. Conrats on getting them all too clean their rooms.......
ReplyDeleteLOL don't be sorry, the boys said it themselves plus this room has really poor lighting. It's a terrible colour a few years back when we painted it we though yellow might brighten it up but I think only white is goig to help
DeleteElizabeth clearly put a lot of effort into cleaning her room, sorry boys!
ReplyDeleteMy vote is for Elizabeth's room. Leslie's comment helped in my decision.
ReplyDeleteI'm voting for Elizabeth too! Because she cleaned her room and made her bed!! Sorry boys...I feel for ya AND, I would have voted for ya..but you should've tidied up a bit!
ReplyDeletelet's hear it for the boys! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be no help at all- I think you should do a little at a time on both rooms! Say, a week or two on one, then the same on the other, and continue that way until done. Insert my evil laugh here... :D
ReplyDeleteid go the boys room, its plain and needs your magic touch
ReplyDeleteI'm going with the boys room - only cos I want to see what you can do. Sorry Elizabeth xxxx
ReplyDeleteBy the way l love Elizabeths bed......so cute
ReplyDeleteThe boys room!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry Elizabeth ... the boys have my vote!
ReplyDeleteDo I get to vote twice since you linked up to Raising Imperfection? LOL! Oh and you are an evil genius. I must remember your tactics for the future.
ReplyDeleteYou are an evil genius. I love how you worked this all to your advantage AND how you put yourself in a position to be free from having to pick who's room will be next. I vote Elizabeth's room, she did such a good job cleaning, I'd love to have her come here and clean my house :)

ReplyDeleteAs the mom of 3 boys, I vote for the boys :)
ReplyDeleteHard one! Elizabeth put so much time into cleaning her room!! However looking at the two I would have to go with the boys room. It needs a little love!
ReplyDeleteI vote for Elizabeth because she did such a nice job cleaning her room! Too cute!

The boys got me with the "drab and lifeless" pitiful speech. Sorry to little Miss Bennett! ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteI vote for Elizabeth, because she has clearly made an effort to clean and present her room
ReplyDeleteDo the boys' room first- you'll please 2/3 of the contestants in one fell swoop. Sometimes dividing and conquering is your best bet!
ReplyDeletei vote for elizabeth because her room is neat and tidy even her bed.

Based solely on cleanliness, your precious daughter wins. However, based on their little speeches, the boys' got my vote. Tough call, but if you told them the votes were based on how they prepared their rooms, Elizabeth is a clear winner.
ReplyDeletei vote for elizabeth because she keeps everything neat and tidy

P.Si love spongebob
You are the most. hilarious. EVER!!! Seriously! How old are your babes? 'Cause maybe they can secretly vote for themselves? eh? :)
ReplyDeleteI can't vote-I'm so torn----'cause how can you put the meanness on moi?
You are a genius mom! I have to cast a vote for the boys because I think that bed has a lot of possibilities and boys need to learn at an early age how to decorate. Elizabeth appears to have this down pat!
ReplyDeletethe boys have an empty room, no pictures on the wallls no names written. im voting for the boys!
ReplyDeletei vote for the boys
ReplyDeletegive the boys some lace and frills
