Fall Cleaning

It took me two whole days to do my fall cleaning. I scrubbed, dusted, vacuumed and organized for hours on end. I told the kids if they could keep the house clean and looking nice for one whole week I would give them each five dollars. Bribery works like a charm. So far, so good. If they keep it up I may just give them five dollars every week to pick up after themselves. Now we get to decorate for Halloween. I am so excited! For some reason this is the first year that I have really enjoyed fall. I used to hate it when it got cooler and when the leaves start changing it means winter is on it's way. I HATE winter. But this year I have let myself enjoy the beauty of fall and I am so excited for all of the yummy food you that comes with fall cooking.
I wonder if fall has become my new favorite season, hmmm, I'll let you know in a couple of weeks.
