How to Clean... According to Charlie!

The goal of my Sunday afternoon was simple- get some "serious" cleaning done! What actually happened proved to be much more entertaining! After a delicious snack of daddy's Cheese Puff's, Charlie, Wylie and I began our standard household chores. Wylie, quickly lost interest in the moving from room to room and abandoned the task to play with the diapers she had discovered in a drawer. But not my good friend Charlie! No sir... he was right by my side, through all the dirt and grime! In fact, he proved to be quite useful... until.... it got quiet and I realized a #1 Rule: Always Put the Toilet Seat Down! So here it is- How to Clean...According to Charlie!

First ladies, remember all find ways to cut down on your work!

Just follow my example. Why walk with a Swiffer when you can crawl with the Swiffer? This really does a double duty here since what I might miss with the Swiffer my clothes pick up for me! No more messy hands!

Now, your knees may get tired from all that crawling. When this happens ladies, take a load off. Who ever said you can't Swiffer sitting down?!

Okay, now, don't skip corners here! People around my house tend to be a bit picky about corners and baseboards. Go ahead, do the dirty work and make sure to get those spots good!

Just when you think you are done... don't forget... bathrooms have floors too! Come on ladies, don't be lazy, head on upstairs and just get it done. What?! Legs too tired to walk stairs... Okay then, just crawl up the stairs like me. It is great for the bicep!

Almost done... Remember "A Clean House is a Happy House!" (My dad loves it when he gets this note left for him from my mom!)

Now... cleaning isn't always fun... So ladies, take a minute to make some fun! All you need is a bowl. PS- I found it best to go ahead and close the door for this "fun". If you get discovered doing this, your fun is over! And... stay quiet! Trust me, your fun will last longer! Uh oh... here is me being caught in the act!

Now, if you look up and smile pretty at this point, you quite possibly can skip the "NO NO" talk and get to continue having so much fun!

And if that doesn't work, go find a partner in crime. Important note here: one last key thing to remember is- get out of there before you are spotted. This way, your partner ends up being discovered not you!

"He told me I could do it!" says Wylie!

So my afternoon of "serious" cleaning, quickly turned into a fun and entertaining memory! Please note...prior to Charlie's Fun with the Toilet... it had been thoroughly cleaned! The joys of little ones and the priceless memories!
