Love... is the thing that enables a mother to sing while she mops up the floor after her children walk across it in their muddy shoes!

I don't know what got into me this morning...but I woke up ready to clean! Brace yourself....this is the list of things I did before 11:00am.

fed boys
washed, dried and put away 3 loads of clothes (Nick's camp clothes)
swept kitchen and hardwood floors
dusted entire house
cleaned all ceiling fans
emptied every trashcan
cleaned each bathroom(toilets,tubs,sinks,floors,walls)
mopped kitchen and bathroom floors
unloaded dishwasher
cleaned counter tops and stove top
moved and vacuumed under and behind couches and cushions
showered (and shaved my legs:)
took car to gas up
cleaned out trash from car
vacuumed car
put air in all tires
picked up bulb and replaced rear brake light
wrapped Kaden's gift
Made all beds

Phew!

With the boys leaving for the week(on Monday)...it should stay clean longer than usual.

Kaden's birthday party was this afternoon. We all ended up staying for 4 and a half hours. Katy had tons of food and she made the yummiest cakes. She made them and decorated them to look like balloons. It was pretty cute. Kaden loved all her toys and Katy loved all the clothes. We changed her about 5 times to see each outfit on her. Katy had made her a crown that read "birthday girl" and she kept that thing on her head the entire time. She never once tried to pull it off. After the party Katy and the kids came over and we hung out till late tonight. We sat outside while the kids played out back. It was pretty breezy and tolerable. Finally! Here's some pictures from Kaden's big day.

I was busy yesterday, too, but you outdid me by a landslide!!! I'll bet you're going to be SOOOOOOOOOOO TIREDDDDDDDDDD today.

Kaden's birthday party was so nice and she looked cute carrying around her purse and the gift bag on her arm. The food was delicious and the cake was super delicious and very pretty. And the decorations were really nice, too.

Well I'm impressed by your list - I hope to bless my house on Monday (company is coming next week)!! I let Jamie sleep in on Saturday - we are still trying to recover from VBS. Then we went school supply shopping. Then the pool party - go to my blog to read more. Melanie
