No really. It stinks! Not just in the "boy I wish we lived somewhere else" way, but also in the "what died in there?" way. Spencer's room is almost unlivable. I don't know how on earth it started or why it is still there. We have taken EVERYTHING out of his room. It's completely bare, no dresser, no crib, no toys. I even cleaned out the closet. I shampooed the carpet. I smelled every nook and cranny of that room and can't figure out where it is coming from. It smells like an old peanut butter sandwich. A giant one that gets bigger and grosser every day. I scrubbed the walls, I put baking soda on the carpet. Nothing. We can't figure out what the problem is. We don't know if it's the walls (which doesn't make sense because if it was, it would also be in the adjoining rooms wouldn't it? We don't know if it is the carpet (wouldn't it have at least helped when I shampooed the carpet?). We don't know if it's coming from under the floor boards or what. We looked at Pergo at Marden's yesterday, it's not in the budget but I would gladly put it on the credit card just to get that nasty smell out. But we don't even know if that will solve the problem. I'm going to have Matt take out the washer and dryer to make sure there isn't a leak in the washer or warm, moist air from the dryer blowing into Spencer's floor. But I have no idea how to fix it if that is the case. Thank goodness for our 10 year warranty on our house right? RIGHT?! Does anyone have any ideas?
Oh, yeah, and it is not the pets. Sophie doesn't even go in his room and the first accident Katie had was a month ago and she went in the bathroom sink.

I recommend that you pick up and follow the scripture's advice: "Let us go to Dothan" (Genesis 37:17).
Dad, seriously...who would actually want to go to THAT town?! Don't make her go to alabama. That's gross.
Is the cat spraying? The dog peeing? Has the boy been bathed lately?
LOL!!! I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING! I'm sorry! First at your post, then at Dad's crazy idea. Sorry, Dad, but I'm totally with Lyndsey. Who'd want to live in Alabama anyway? And I was SO going to say it was the pets, but you even covered that before I could comment! LOL!
Wow. You got me stumped. Maybe he's sneaking out for a little midnight baby snack every night, and smuggling his little homemade PBJ back to his room, and now it's just totally in the AIR after weeks of this. Have you noticed the peanut butter running suspiciously low lately? The bread bag left open? It could totally happen, you know. Jason's mom said he completely disassembled his crib at 12 months. Who knows what escapades YOUR little man is up to...
Katie pooped in the BATHROOM SINK? I could never brush my teeth in there again... Not enough bleach in the world...
This post is making me think of another blogger mom who is dealing with a suspicious smell. She thinks she has a dead mouse between her walls. Nice, huh? Good luck figuring out where the nasty smell is coming from...
Hey, maybe you should let Sophie in there (just once)... if there's something dead in the walls, she's bounded to find it...
We have friends who had to deal with rats and mice dying in their ceiling and walls - and then they had their dog eating drywall in just one place over and over again - turned out there was something there.
Sorry - it doesn't sound like any fun.
I blame George Bush and global warming.
I feel vaguely nauseas, wondering what it might be.
Call Obama. He'll make everything all better.
LOL!!!!!
