Part of my existence is to clean, soak, rinse, mop, scrub - you get the picture. Lately, perhaps with the onset of summer and four children at home, my messes are big. Here are a few examples:
The Kitchen:

Whenever any part of my life is demanded outside of the home, this is what can happen. In order to put together a church activity for the women in our church, I had to forgo some of the usual nightly clutter patrol for preparation. So although this:

...was fun, I still had that darn kitchen to clean-up and all that stuff to put away! We are also reorganizing and putting up new furniture!!!! in our office. Which means the big messes are continuing upstairs too. Completely excited to show you the office soon - it's a work in progress.
Clothing:

| Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh |
This nice white polo shirt was worn by Mr. T today as we went to a local outdoor hamburger place to eat - the kitchen was too messy! After we sat and watched, both Hawk and Mr. T devour their hot dogs and watermelon - I came home and soaked this shirt with OxyClean. We go through one spray bottle of this a week it seems. I really need to remember to bring bibs! Nini and those boys are always the culprits!
Summer Fun:

Summer Fun, from swimming to art, always brings with it, lots of mess! One activity we are doing every week is Art on the Lawn. We go outside and do art on our lawn! This week was painting a canvas. Nini opted for a more Pollock approached, while Cici just couldn't keep one thing on the canvas and painted gum drops to lemon heads to pretzels! It is all fun, but not with the added clean-up factor. It's been fun finding the balance between when to let go and when to clean-up. Got to love Summer!
Can you relate?
Have you seen HP7?!!
Any big messes waiting for you?
