Spring Cleaning :)

Step 1: Sweep throughly

Step 2: Mop with the sudsiest soap you can find

Step 3: Run the vac, using your best form and technique

Step 4: Clean the glass

Step 5: Pack it up after a hard day's work
I promise you, I don't MAKE Charlie clean, he really likes it I swear. Since his favorite "toy" was the vacuum cleaner attachments, my friend Michele got him his very own vac for his birthday! And I got him the cleaning cart.....so when I clean, he can clean with me. (Note to self: DO NOT use dish soap in the mop bucket. I didn't want him cleaning with chemicals, so I used some Mrs. Meyers dish soap....needless to say, this required more clean up after the cleaning....next time: WATER) I guess I was going for authentic over practical. But anyway, the clean house lasted about, uhhh....45 minutes. Now I am back to tripping over toys, scraping who knows what off the glass, and looking at the carpet in disgust. Well, it was good while it lasted!

  3. OH my gosh! Landon cleans non-stop too! Even after almost a whole hour of vacuuming the whole house he will have a meltdown when we have to put it away! I really think they taught those kids how to clean over there! :)
