Week in Review

Ok so I am going to try something new. I am going to try to do one post a week. It might just be one picture to describe the week but I am going to try every week to post something. So here is this weeks post.

WARNING THIS POST IS NOT FOR THE FAINT, WEAK AT HEART, SQUEAMISH, OR CLEAN FREAKS!!

So I just wanted to show the real side of life with 3 kids (6 at one point). This is what happens when everyone has been sick for two weeks and one jam packed fun weekend with friends. I have to admit I am the farthest from a neat freak but how my house looked even made me faint. I know there is probably not another mom out there that can sympathize with me and all of you are thinking "I am calling DFACs right now" but I did warn you :) So my WONDERFUL husband let me have one and a half days kid and husband free to get it back up to my standards. This is what I found: (Last warning to turn away)

The clothes had backed up to an Enormous amount:

So first I sorted them:

Then my least favorite part folding and putting away:

Then I tackled dusting. I must say that we run our fans ALL summer and don't turn them off so I did not realize that even when they are running they collect dust. Well when it started getting cooler we turned them off and this is what I found:

The kitchen was a disaster area and the playroom was even worse:

But alas after a day and a half of NOTHING but cleaning I have to say my house is back in order :

(well at least until the family got home :) ) My girls missed me!!
Thank you Richard for allowing me to have a nice relaxing (yes it was relaxing to get the house clean) weekend at home!!

On a lighter note we had a GREAT start to fall break!! With a snack outside.
