When it's pointless to clean...

Well, we've had our own place for almost two months now. It's definetly a nice thing to have. I have been doing pretty well keeping it clean for the most part. The kitchen is usually my downfall and the most messy room. It's the room the kiddos usually don't go in, so the floor isn't bad, it's the icky dishes I have a problem with (it'd probably help if I would gt dishwasher soap).
One room that I seem to be constantly cleaning is the boy's room! Because of Wills low weight, one thing I do is during the day I have a bowl of dry (Dora) cereal where he can get to it, so he can have something to munch on at all times. The only downfall is 1/8th of the cereal ends up around the room and in his bed. So about once a week I have to bring the broom and dustpan to their room and sweep. Then I have to put all the toys back in their correct toy bins and try and put clothes in the dresser. Well, I have come to a conclusion- if Will is in the room, there's no point in even trying. Convincing him to help only lasts so long, every toy that you touch he suddenly remembers how great it is and how bad he needs to play with it, and clothes... Well let's just say a 3 yr old thinks he can fold and put each thing where it should be- but that's far from the truth.
Today I did try and clean, despite both boys in the room, I did pretty well if I say so myself, even rearranged nicely, but my sanity... That was the cost.
