A new leaf?

One whole week of cleaning and purging and we're on our way! Hopefully I will be able to keep it this way, but it is lots of work! LOL B empties the dishwasher now every morning...and he's good at it. Of course, he doesn't do the plates/bowls (which he can't reach) or the knives, but everything else he puts away. It's nice to have an empty dishwasher each morning!

C picks up the dirty laundry around the house (what is it about boys that they just drop things where they take them off??) and the trash/junk/empty cups in the bathrom.

It is amazing how much different the house looks with just that little bit of picking up! LOL And since B got his own vaccum cleaner for Christmas, he vaccum's almost every day! And he even vaccum's things that I don't vaccum very often...the couches, under the beds, etc. It's nice! And they have found things we thought were lost forever in the process. LOL

My goal now (for the next few weeks anyway) is to continue doing this and create habits with the few things we've started. Then I will add more stuff (for a few weeks) and create more habits. It's a long process. It didn't get this way over night, and it won't fix itself over night.
