Robin Hood and his Merry Men

Take three small children, a room stuffed to the gunnels; a room that looks like the spot where Santa's sleigh crashed, and me!

Big job here.
Child number one loves mess, so he tells me.
Child number two likes order,
Child number three is an adorable whirlwind.

The task here is empty the dressing up cupboard, which also has old paintings, long forgotten boxes of stuff, and binliners full and labelled with 'Not jumble - Summer clothes'. I am very ashamed to say that the "not jumble' has been there for so long that it is now Jumble.etc etc etc.

So that was my task. I initially involved the children, but in the end they decided that dressing up was so much more fun, than tidying up.
I can't help but agree with them.

So finally it was me, a knight in shining armour, and scooby doo working hard to complete the task.

Scooby Doo is now asleep (it is only 10.45 am), the knight is roaming around chasing dragons, and child number 1 escaped to play the violin.

Task completed.

Only 11 months to go.
