We Have a Winner!
Congratulations to Grish, who guessed that it took 3 hours, 47 minutes and 23 seconds to redo The Child's room yesterday. Impressive calculation, dude. The actual time was 3 hours, 45 minutes and 27 seconds. Well done! You will be receiving your prize shortly, a lovely collection of dust bunny covered beads in assorted colors and some shiny star shaped barettes. You also receive immunity in the next challenge, which is cleaning out the contents of her dresser drawers. Thanks for playing!

Can we play at my house next time?
How does that Trading Spaces thing work? She cleans your room while you clean hers? I can't believe you fell for that.
Nicole, Sure. That would be fun. Especially the lunch part.
JP, I'm not that dense. No, for the first part one of us is the designer and the other the homeowner and then when it's time for the reveal she becomes the other homeowner. Because she loves to emote.
"Mom, let's play While You Were Out. I'm going to go out, and you clean my room. Then I'll come back and be surprised!"
JP, I tell you, she helps! She did all sorts of useful things yesterday. Leaving the dustpan where I could step on it, decorating pushpins with little, tiny stickers, polishing everything with lemon scented furniture polish, including her boom box ("Wow. This looks really shiny!") and making the really hard decisions, like which stuffed animals should be on her bed and which on a shelf.
Charlie, Isn't he just a pip? We need to give him a bicycle and a fish. Wait, I'm mixing that metaphor again...
"Mom, let's play Extreme Home Makeover. You send me to Disneyland, and then you fill my room with all kinds of new expensive stuff, and then when I come back we'll park a bus in front of the house and I'll cry and you'll cry and dad will even cry a little."
This is too fun.
"No, honey, I've already explained this to you: we can't play "Extreme Makeover". You don't have an incurable allergy to airborne moss, rendering you incapable of ever leaving your Saran-wrapped room, I'm neither obese nor missing an eye, you don't have 16 foster brothers who have been rotating use of one single bunkbed and remember, Papa is not only gainfully employed but he has all his limbs. But if you're a good girl we can play "What Not to Wear" as soon as we're done here".
I Won! I Won! Hey, If it'll save you on shipping I already have the bike but I am missing a fish and as we all know, a guy can never have enough dust bunny covered beads and barettes. ..:)
Congratulations again, Grish. We'll work on adding a fish to the prize package.
Damm!...I missed the contest.
Probably for the best,since my answer was gonna be "Blue"..Way to go Grish!! :)
