My floor is clean!

On July 3rd just after 11pm, I get a mass email from someone in our ward asking if anyone could feed the missionaries starting the next day. I figured we were already cooking food and would have extras so I volunteered to feed them on July 4th.

The great part about having company over for dinner is that the house actually gets clean. After taking care of V all day (and her being woken up from multiple naps all day long) and overseeing the kids cleaning responsibilities, I was flat out exhausted. I vacuumed the carpet and tile and I was just done for the day. The mopping needed to be done-the floor was disgusting and I just didn't have enough energy to do it in between nursing sessions. So...I figured it was the kids' mess anyway, so I would just have them do it. I gave them a quick run-down of how to mop and make sure that each tile actually got clean, gave them each a rag and a sinkful of vinegar water and let them go for it.

Jayke thought it was cool that he could slide he knees on the wet tile.

Ethan and Kate are hard at work.

 Let me tell you, that is the best thing I have ever done in my life! It's probably not as clean as I would have got it, BUT I didn't have to do it and it is way better than it was! I think this might just become a weekly activity for the kids, right along with their Saturday chores.
