Clean up

I love having a clean house. Clean floors, toys put away, dishes done, and the smell of a freshly cleaned house. Living on a military base, you never know who will stop by my house. All my friends live either next to me or across the street. I was always embarrassed because my friends would come by without warning and at the worst time. So I'm determined to keep my house clean.
Andre has been working hard on teaching AJ to pick up his toys and keep them in his room. I've gotten the boys to eat all meals at our dining room table instead of the little table in our living room. This keeps crumbs and spills out of our living room.

On a daily basis I....


*Vacuum my living room, kitchen, and dining room. (No more sweeping, vacuuming is so much faster) Got that tip from my mom :)

*Do all dishes twice a day.

*Wipe down kitchen counters twice a day.

*Do a load of laundry, fold it, and put it away.
___________


Every other day..

* I mop all floors

*Clean my bedroom and the kids bedroom
_____________


Weekly...

* Clean both bathrooms (although thats turning into a more frequent thing since AJ started using the "Big boy" potty now instead of his little potty)

* Dust

* Clean out the fridge before our weekly shopping trip


Having a clean house puts me in a better mood and is good for my marriage :) Today I was vacuuming and I swear I've never met a child that liked the sound of a vacuum cleaner. Usually kids will cry and run. Not Ronde! He follows me around the house when I vacuum while laughing. He thinks it's the fun! I took some cute pictures of him from this morning. Mind you, the vacuum was on and he was not in any danger.


He was pushing it around the living room

That's the face of a boy who likes vacuum cleaners!

I always thought AJ was my helper boy but it looks like Ronde will be too. AJ better step his game up. Hehe!
