Cleaning on a Friday

Today is cleaning day. I am preparing for my first jewelry show (yay!!!) at my house tonight and me and the boys have been cleaning fools!

Ethan's room? Check. Cleaned.

The dreaded kitchen? Check. Clean.
The living room? Check. Clean.

Floors mopped? Check. Clean.

Did Noah clean the study/playroom? Check. Clean.

Mommy and Daddy's bedroom? Check. Clean.

This is getting to be so much fun! Ethan even chipped in and dust mopped the kitchen and halls!

Hmmm....

Mommy: "Noah. I thought you were cleaning your room?"

Noah: "I did. It's on the bed. The floor is picked up."

It's going to take longer than expected....

Just Another Friday Night

Sprinkles? Check.

White chocolate? Check.

Oreos? Check.

Sprinkler? Check.

Finished product? Beautiful home-made cookies!

Noah thinks they are great!

What was Ethan doing during all of this, you might ask?

Played with 'Mater!
