We took the week off of school. Ben had a few days off of work and we jumped into some "spring" cleaning. While Ben took Alison and Eli to piano, Colin and I stayed home to play some games. One of his cards fell into the couch and when I reached in to get it, I discovered LOTS of things were hiding in our couch...not just under the cushion, but actually inside the couch. Colin was excited to see what all we could discover so we decided to end the game and spring clean the living room instead.
This is all the stuff that came out of the couch (not including several game pieces and DS games that were already put away...oh, and lots more legos that Colin had already stashed away)!!! I would love to know how a hanger ended up there.
Alison and I went on a little date to get hot cocoa and buy a rubix cube.
Ben also took the kids to the dentist for me (wahoo!) and we met some friends at the park to play.
Colin asked Daddy to read him a book, and Maya shoved herself under the couch to be with them. She is still a little puppy in her head.
Eli takes his job very seriously these days. He washes off the plates and Colin loads them into the dishwasher and there is no getting in their way.
There was lots and lots and lots of cleaning this week. I lost count how many magic erasers and dusters we used. The kids helped me scrub walls and baseboards, cleaned up their rooms and Colin even helped mop the floor. But Ben wins the prize...he came home with a carpet cleaner and deep cleaned the whole house. Maya growled out it the entire time and couldn't stop sniffing the carpets after they were cleaned.
I largely underestimated how dirty our house was. Living in the desert takes cleaning to a whole new level!
Saved the best for last. Colin lost his first tooth this week!
