Spring Cleaning

Saturday morning my children did not wake up until 9 am! For those of you who know my kiddies, that is AMAZING! Especially C. Now K girl is more apt to sleep later, but not that late. Them sleeping late meant we got to sleep late too! Yeah! I haven't done that in a long time. I think we wore them out at the Children's Museum (see other post).

Sleeping late was a wonderful way to start our Saturday. We really didn't have many plans for the day--just cutting the boy's hair (YUCK). Daddy made us pancakes (chocolate chip for me) and the boys played PlayStation and Wii. K girl was playing here, there, and everywhere. I decided to start cleaning house, since I didn't have the chance on Friday (my usual cleaning day). I started in our bathroom and it turned into spring cleaning. I cleaned just about everything in there! Baseboards, cabinets, light fixtures, nitty-gritty stuff. I have 2 more things to do (the shower curtain and the spray head in the shower). As I kept going, the "spring cleaning bug" bit me. So I kept going. I dusted our bookshelves (no small feat), our ceiling fan, and some air return vents.

Then I made sure the bug bit Daddy. He went through all his clothes and got rid of his "fat" clothes. He got rid of two 30 gallon bags of clothes! Between him and the clothes that the kids have outgrown, I have a HUGE pile of clothes! I am going to try to sell some of the name brand stuff on eBay. I have a friend that does it all the time and makes good money. So we shall see. I'll keep you posted.

Between all this cleaning, I cut the boys hair and fed my kiddies. Daddy then grilled out hamburgers for dinner. YUM! What started out as a slow day--and what we had planned as a slow day--turned into a very productive day. It felt so good to get some stuff done! Now to finish what I've started.
