So remember how the tooth fairy wouldn't go into Annika's room because it was a mess? Well, as you can see, the tooth fairy wasn't kidding. I'm a little embarrassed to post this photo of my daughter's messy room, but, it is what it is. My mom keeps encouraging me to let them have control of their rooms. Meanwhile my husband's perspective is that we're complete failures as parents if we're not teaching our children discipline. UGH!

I'm *trying* to get them to appreciate the value of an organized environment...or at least a clear walking space...but clearly I've not had much impact on Annika. *sigh*

Anyway, the point of this photo is actually to show her solution for the tooth fairy. She stuck her tooth under her pillow pet and left it here at her door.

P.S. This morning I couldn't take it anymore and I at least threw her dirty clothes into her hamper, when I went to wake her up for school. Annika said, "Wow, I had a lot of clothes on my floor." You don't say?!
