Clean Up! Clean Up!

Rick's parents left Monday morning & once Rick got back from taking them to the airport and the older kids were at school, Rick & I got to work on clearing out the house. (We did have the kids' dressers moved already out to the garage. They had a funny time trying to find where their clothes all went & didn't really love getting dressed out there for the weekend...) We got our carpet stretched Monday & we're getting our carpets cleaned today.
Andrew & Eliza loved hopping from cushion to cushion.

Andrew put one of the cushions down to be his slide.

I love the distinct difference of where the rug was on the carpet & the rest of the room. Hmmm, I guess vacuuming doesn't always clean enough at my house.

What a mess, glad this is going to get cleaned up.

All of this moving is really tiresome. Eliza just fell asleep right where our bed used to be. She cracks me up.

Dinner was a picnic on the floor since we managed to move everything but a dresser/shelf in our room, the piano, & filing cabinet from the carpet & into the basement, garage, or kitchen, there wasn't much room to eat or move around in the kitchen-so floor it was is. And bonus-2 free pizzas from Papa Johns. They charged us the wrong amount & so the deliverer called it in to change it & they said since it was their mistake they'd just cancel the transaction. Happy Free Pizza Night to us. I should have ordered  more. :) Just kidding.

The next morning before carpets got cleaned, Joseph & Lexie danced & ran around like it was Christmas morning. They loved being goofy.

Eliza chillin' in the kitchen.

And finally, all clean! Hooray!

I know, not the most exciting blog post, but when you haven't ever gotten your carpets cleaned in this house (& it's been almost 7 years), it's a pretty exciting thing.
Now to get the house put back together again & move some children around...
