Spring Cleaning with the Messy Monkeys!

We worked hard last Friday and Saturday getting our house ready for company. Rosanna (M.M. #1) did a good job on her room, but Caroline (M.M.#2) needed a lot of help. (Let's say that dad thinks he needs to make a trip to the dump now!)

Below is Mom's masterpiece: the main bath!


The nice room (M.M.#1)


The OK room (M.M. #2):

Getting my dining room table ready...looks pretty now compared to super cluttered!

Wow, You must be loving being able to see the floors in the kids rooms. Hope it is able to stay that way for a few days before the "mess" moves back in.

Nice work!
And enjoy your trip back to the valley. Just watch out for all of the sun on the canals - there's no place to hide!

Wow, wow!! Very nice. Bet the girls feel quite good about it too! It can get so overwhelming that it's impossible to know where to start!

Looks absolutely beautiful! I bet you feel awesome! I have 8 kids and we've had our overwhelming moments. It always feels good when we get our life back and our self respect.

Glad to see the wonderful progress you made...now over a week later I'm wondering if you've been able to keep some semblance of order? Sure looks great in the pictures you posted! What a great feeling to have the stuff gone...like a huge weight lifted!
