Sparkles

AAAHHHH! Take a deep breath in.....it feels so good! And it smells so fresh! You see, I clean my house once a week. I scrub the bathrooms and the kitchen, vacuum, dust, catch up on all the laundry, etc. I'd like to say I keep a clean house but with Tyler and I both working full time the house can get a little cluttered by the end of the week with books, backpacks, shoes and toys but about twice a year I get a bug and I clean/disinfect/scrub everything. I got that bug this weekend and I cleaned every thing from my closets to my walls to the little knobs on my oven. Thank you to Tyler for all of the help in the basement, he worked so hard scrubbing the bathroom and his bar. It looks fabulous. I also have to thank my kids. They helped so much too! They each took wet wipes and cleaned all of the baseboards throughout the house and cleaned spots out of the carpet. I just might have the cleanest house on the block. Except maybe my neighbor, but she has a maid that comes once a week and doesn't have any kids so I don't think that counts. Its a good feeling to have a house that SPARKLES!

Its also a good feeling to be completely prepared for Christmas. This weekend Tyler and I finished our shopping and got everything wrapped while my parents had a slumber party with the kids. Thank you Mom and Dad, we really appreciate it. Tyler and I even got to go to dinner thanks to me winning the gift card to Chilies.

The perfect ending to a perfect weekend would be a diet coke.....I'm going to go get one.
