With the kids being off track, keeping the house clean is a CONSTANT battle. I don't know how to get it through their heads to put something away when they are done using it and before moving on to something else. So, today, I was upstairs talking to my sister and this is what I came down to find:
AUGH! I was getting hives just walking through the house. Needless to say, all friends went home, my children were called home, and we cleaned, cleaned, cleaned. There was some whining, a little yelling, and much complaining but things were put away, floors vacuumed and mopped, and a DI pile was started.
"Be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and you will miss them profoundly."

Thank you Pres. Monson for those profound words! I have been there, done that and seen this and it gives me anxiety looking at your mess as well. Don't you just love off-track time??? But, these times do pass all too quickly and believe it or not as frustrating as it is . . . you will miss it! Gotta' love 'em!
All I can say from looking at those pictures is that they must have had the most fun day ever! And that is all that matters right?! (Just keep telling yourself that!)
Wow! Your house is a mess!!! HA! HA! ;) I think that same tornado tore through my house too! Where are the after pics?!
There are no after pics. The house still didn't stay clean long enough to get any.
