Everyone is

CLEANING!! I have some pictures to post of various things over the last week, but this week has been insanely busy with something every evening including a successful piano recital, ward Christmas party, swim, a sick little girl ~ so as you can see, it's been a little crazy around here.

I've convinced (i.e. begged, pleaded, threatened) the kids to clean, except for Anna (she says, as she's standing here next to me reading this as I type. And I didn't have to beg her....she's always been a good helper.) Katie is vacuuming upstairs and that's like music to my ears! Seeing Tyler in the bathroom with a sponge is like the Mona Lisa! Seeing Rachel with a dish towel in her hand is like the Boston Pops! And you get the idea ~ haha. I better get back to helping before I'm discovered at the computer. And I promise, pictures will follow at some point this weekend!
