Should I just give up?

My kids are messy, messy kids!  They leave things everywhere and I often say I feel like I am chasing my tail trying to keep up with the mess.  I took my camera into the playroom and their rooms the other day to just be able to document and show them when they are older what I have been dealing with.  I actually just sent them upstairs to clean their rooms a few minutes ago, they may not emerge for many, many hours.
