Ok, so I have mentioned before that I have a serious sense of smell. So, you can imagine how frustrating it is for me to have a boys' room that smells like pee. I can't figure out why it still smells.

I've cleaned the mattress and then covered it in plastic to avoid further stench.

I've crawled around on my hands and knees smelling every inch of carpet to find the pee smell. And, yes I did find some. I don't understand why some kids think it is so much more fun to pee on carpet than in the toilet!! I cleaned those spots several times with different cleaners until I got the smell out.

I've tried the air out technique, etc.

Today when I smelled "it" again I was at a loss. I decided to pull all the toys and clothes tubs out from under the bunk bed and see if the boy had peed down the back of the wall or something. I found another of the smell culprits.


Anyway, if you haven't guessed yet...Ian peed into the mixer part of his cement truck. I didn't figure that out until AFTER I put my hand in there to extract a toy. His reason was "because I realized that I didn't want to pee in the toilet."

I seriously hope that you don't think I'm a horrible house cleaner or something because I have a stinky room. I also hope that if we ever move from this house that I will have solved the odor problem first. I REALLY REALLY hope that any future home buyer doesn't show up here with a black light!!
