You know that saying? It takes a village to raise a child? Who was it who said that? Like Hillary or something? Or was she just quoting someone else? Anyways, it doesn't matter, I guess! Just saying... That phrase came to me today as I was thinking about this unorganized house!! It takes a whole village to clean this house!! Lol. No, but really. One project does lead to another, right?!
Today's projects consisted of painting a wall, sanding a table, washing the couch covers, steam cleaning, vacuuming and fluffing the cushions... Washing the windows and hanging different curtains. Sheesh.
And in the meantime, the girls are dreaming of new and fresh ideas for their room. Bella has these crazy ideas for painting and rearranging. Since we can't quite get to all that now, I thought I'd give them their own little project- so after school they went to it. Painting an old bookshelf purple to put in their room. They worked together and for about an hour and a half on it, but still will need to do more tomorrow. I was pretty proud of myself for allowing this could-be-a-disaster... I even didn't try and go back over their paint strokes or constantly tell them to do it this way. But that was also partially because they were doing so great, so I'm proud of them, too. :). I have created monsters!!
On the list for tomorrow... Grocery shopping, picture hanging... More painting... And maybe organizing a little more in the living room. I might try to tackle the toy/book situation. It makes me tired to even think about it!!!! Yikes! I am sure you are all enjoying reading about my cleaning process every day! But hey, it's life ...from here. :)
