End of summer clean up

A few weeks ago Erik went to help Courtney, Noel and Leo move from Albany to Akron. He left on a Friday morning and returned late Sunday night. Over that weekend –Alec went on strike.

A ‘I am never leaving the house again’ strike.

A ‘I am not taking my pajamas off EVER’ kind of strike. 

Apparently ‘Alec’s Adventures’ was going to take a hiatus.

But he did have a point…we had been going, going, going –either visiting and doing or having folks visit us (which I love) for over 12 weeks.  The last free weekend we had was when ‘I lost my mojo’ the 1st week of May. Remember that?

Barely?    Yeah….me too.

Yep..it’s been a good summer but it was time for no plans.

In all those weeks….our house cleanliness went downhill. I used the phrase ‘excuse the mess’ far too many times. We were on a mission for the weekend. Alec was more than happy to oblige me in all the cleaning as long as it meant he did not have to go out. He really likes to clean. He’s his father’s child.  ;)

Friday night we tackled ‘his’ bathroom.

Saturday we pulled out the pledge, the windex (or windexie as it is called in our house), the vacuum, and the swiffer.  Yes, we even fought over cleaning products at one point.   I finally convinced him to go to Target with me Sunday afternoon with the guise of getting more cleaning supplies. It worked-albeit –he was still in his pajamas.

Whatever.

I was sick of cleaning and needed to get out of the house.

It’s a good thing we cleaned.

We ended up with some surprise overnight guests last weekend!

And the fun continues…..
