Also, I am horrified to learn that the mess doesn't get any better (then again, I should know that having been a terribly messy teen!! :) LOL … my kids are 4, 20 months and 4 months and we already have a rule: you turn 18, I turn you out!!

My parents always threatened it, but never followed through, I always said I was never going to be like my parents! ;) Suze: Yeah, teenagers suck, they really do. Tiff: Do it! Potential buyers can see through the kid stuff. Kelley: My kids are hopeless, even at finding chocolate. They are truly useless. If I hide the choc chip cookies behind the cereal they hate, they will never ever find them. Sueblimey: We did that. We had the storage place deliver a container into our driveway, we filled it and two weeks later they whisked it away. It was heaven!

And they can sniff out chocolate from the front door. Looking forward to the day where I don't have eleventy billion loads of washing and can leave my chocolate unhidden. My kids are like that too.

Dave and i are currently discussing upending the cherubs and moving closer to the hospital but the thought of having to keep the house clean while it's on the market is daunting, to say the least. I think we may have to move out and rent while we sell the house, otherwise, nobody will be able to see the hardwood floors for the children's rubble! LOL, This gave me a good laugh.
