Clean!

Hard-working Bill with the carpet cleaner round one - the downstairs

It worked great!  The carpets are so much cleaner!

So Tuesday afternoon went a little something like this:

1:15 - Connor goes to bed, Bill goes and rents the carpet cleaner, and we get the downstairs ready to be cleaned.

2:00- Bill cleans the downstairs living room and the steps

2:45- we move the upstairs living room furniture over to one side of the room, Bill goes and buys more carpet cleaning solution

3:30- I start making dinner, Bill waits because Connor is still sleeping, and that machine is so. loud.

4:30- Connor finally decides to wake up! ;) Bill and Connor eat and then play...I leave for music class...

6:15- I come home, Bill starts cleaning in the upstairs living room, and I have dinner, then ...

What to do with an almost two year old with no play space in the house available...??

play-dough!

From 6:15-7:15 we played with play-dough at the table.

no too bad for a non-artist huh?  ;)  (it's supposed to be a dog...)

Connor loves the animals I make - he isn't too gentle though...

oops... pulled his ear off...

very carefully putting the ear back on... :)

After playdough we did bathtime and bed for Connor boy and then Bill cleaned the landing and the other set of steps.  Thankfully Connor is a heavy sleeper in the evenings, so the noise wasn't a problem then!

I think the carpets look fantastic and Bill does too.  The house is still a little out of order (toys in the dinning room) but that will be fixed this afternoon.

Glad to have a day off to get a huge chore off the to-do list!
