Winter Cleaning

You know it's really bad when you start cleaning and you're 6 yr old asks, "Who's coming to visit?" Needless to say our house is now clean! And I feel MUCH better. The only time it gets organized is when someone comes for a sit down. Sad isn't it.

Friday night we had a "family veg night". After the rough week we had, we all piled up in the bed and watched "Man vs Wild" with Bear Grylls. It's a good show all of us can watch and not have to worry about language. And if we're ever stranded in Africa, we'll know how to avoid the elephants and lions and follow the water up stream instead of the typical down... Good into the know :o)

Saturday we cleaned ALL day...from about 9am til 5pm. And it took that time too.
It was worth it. Chris and Stacy came for dinner and we had a great time catching up on each others happenings. We really enjoy the time we get to spend with them now that they're back home.

Sunday, we were heathens! We were both exhausted from the previous day's cleaning so we elected to stay in bed. It wasn't really hard to twist Martin's arm. In fact, our normal conversation didn't even happen. It usually goes something like this:

Alarm clock goes off..
Martin hits snooze twice
Martin: Are we going?
Shelli: Uh huh.....
Click..that's the sound of the alarm clock being turned off...

Yesterday the alarm clock went off and then was turned off! Anyway, I finished Alli Claire's dust ruffle for her crib. I'll have to take a picture and post it. It and the bumper pad turned out REALLY cute!! Now, all I've got to do is finish Graisi's quilt. That's next on my agenda.
