clean...and then clean some more

Today was cleaning day. The day where I actually clean the house from top to bottom. Not that I don't clean EVERYDAY but once a week I REALLY do it all (including the bathrooms). As those of you with small children know...as you are clean someone is always behind you messing it up again as you go. Sometime I think why do I even bother cleaning? I love the feeling of a clean house but it only lasts a few minutes anyways. I still do it though.

Well today I decided that I was going to try to keep the girls occupied outside for the entire duration of my cleaning. Two hours would be ideal but I wasn't counting on it. I set up this easel and paints and closed the door so they couldn't get in with their painted fingers. They actually painted for about an hour. It was so nice. Of course when they were finished it took me about half hour to clean them and the mess they had made. Oh well. They had fun.
