house cleaning


We usually try to get the whole house clean for the upcoming week every Sunday. Today Matt and I had a little private conference... It was 4 pm. Should one of us take both kids out while the other one cleaned the house? Should we try to set the kids up to play in the back yard while we cleaned? Who would do the grocery shopping?

We decided to play the house cleaning game, which we haven't played in a loooooooong time. First, Matt wrote the name of each room on a piece of paper. Then he put them all in a hat and let Eloise pick them out, one at a time. The first room was the dressing room. Eloise's special job was to get in the crib with Owen and keep him happy while Matt and I cleaned cleaned cleaned as fast as we could. It was a smashing success! Repeat that process for Eloise's room, the living room, the dining room, the kitchen and our bedroom AND grocery shopping. Before we knew it, the whole house was clean and we're ready for the week! YAY!
