Proof I Live with Kids: A Photo Essay

Giant stuffed animals occupying the furniture:

Tape everywhere:

Snowflakes and paper chains hanging from the ceiling (and subsequently falling on the floor):

Legos everywhere:

Please note the Moroni made from a monkey holding a spyglass

The above photos show approximately 2% of the Legos in our household

(and I say "Legos" instead of "LEGO" for plural, and I will not change)

Winter clothing spilling all over the floor:

Holiday-themed pillow cases:

A mini hat on my bedside lamp:

A Music Man banner hung on my bedroom wall (courtesy of Nicky):

There is also a giant poster of Nicky hanging on the opposite wall

LED lights, posters, and artwork hung on every wall:

And Squishmallows. So many Squishmallows. 

Artwork and school papers covering the fridge:

Squishies all over the place - always covered in hair and dirt:

I throw so many of these away, and they just keep showing up 

Kitchen table is never clean:

Random things taped to the walls:

Shoes everywhere:

 Not pictured: bobby pins and hair ties all over the floor, globs of eyelash glue on the vanity table, socks - SO MANY SOCKS!! ALWAYS SOCKS!!!, 18 different advent calendars and countdowns, head-shaped dents in the walls, boogers on the side of the couch, charging cords draped on every surface (until you need a charger, then they are nowhere to be found), earrings, chapstick, misplaced money, inside-out pants with underwear attached, hair brushes, bandaids, zit patches, water bottles, candy wrappers stuffed in the couch cushions, clothes and towels on the bathroom floor, backpacks, and blankets.
