Where's Evie?

You know the Where's Waldo books? Well, for the past couple of weeks, that's what Evie's room has reminded me of. One day I walked in and literally could not find her. Can you? I promise, she's in there somewhere. And the spot of beige carpet? That's the only carpet you could see. And this is just one corner of her room! We told her we couldn't tuck her in anymore because her room was too messy. We told her no more Wii, dance, karate or playing with friends until her room was cleaned. Then the magic motivator came. An invitation to a friend's birthday party. We went and got a cool gift. We told her she couldn't go unless her room was clean. Well, it took a couple days, an hour of "professional consultation" from mommy, but she finally got it clean. She was 20 minutes late to the party, but the room was finally clean! Thank goodness for birthday parties....
