Cleaning House!

During this holiday break, I have been busy playing with little ones. However, little ones are MESSY so during this holiday season, I also found myself doing a great deal of cleaning and purging of clutter!

My shadow, Wylie, absolutely thrilled my heart to pieces one morning! To quote the little love her sentence was something like this... " aoloiwoeiohtoaehih made mess". I never have a clue what the beginning of her sentences are but the last 2 words or so are usually always as clear as a bell! On this particular morning, I was toting around my best friend Clorox when Wylie informed me of her "mess". Seeing this as a teachable parental moment, I obliged and handed her my other best friend, Lysol, and showed her a kitchen essential. The Cabinet WipeDown! She instantly fell in love and my heart felt proud!


Just look at her attention to detail!

On her hands and knees...what a good cleaner!

"Have you seen this mess?! I got it under control!"


Showing Daddy her new "trick"!


On the other hand... Charlie's thoughts on cleaning are drastically different!

Always looking for a good time, it has never been a secret that Charlie loves the vacuum cleaner! He began his love for vacuums when he discovered that they had a light on the front. Being that lights are some of his favorite things, this was instant attraction.

Then, a moment of silly between, me, Charlie and the vacuum and a new love has been discovered!

Charlie loves to be attacked by the vacuum!

Especially when you suction his hair!


Don't even try to begin to vacuum with Charlie around unless you plan on spending at least 10 minutes hosing his hair and stomach!


Just look at that do!



"Yes Mom, cleaning is fun!"


However, at least I don't have to worry about Wylie when I vacuum! She hides in the pantry until I am done!


And so, despite lessons with Lysol and Attacks of Vacuums, I did accomplish some Christmas Cleaning this break! Thanks to my 2 special helpers!
