Cleaning Party!!

My sanity saver this fall has been the invention of the "cleaning party". With our busy school days, the bigger cleaning chores weren't getting done. Cleaning parties now happen about every other Friday evening, and they are always followed by a movie and popcorn. I threw the movie and popcorn in there to sweeten the deal for the kids, but I don't even know if it was necessary. They love to work together to clean! Of course, their chores have to be chosen with care and there's been a lot of teaching involved, but the house hasn't looked so good since before Daniel was born. I'm so thankful!
