Daniel's mission farewell party was at our house on Friday night - this translates into roughly two weeks of me panicking about the state of the house/yard, and two weeks of everyone spending every spare moment tidying and cleaning. If a house and yard take two weeks to clean you can tell that they haven't been done for a while - parties are one of the few things that motivate me to bring the house up to presentable standard - we should just have one every month and we'd be fine.
Luckily the children all know the drill and get on with the job.
There were gardens to weed,
grass to haul away,
gardens to plant,
and odd jobs requiring the use of two radios and a tool belt - as well as lawns to mow and whipper snip, paint touch ups, tidying, dusting vacuuming and so on.
But now we sit with the party over, and a clean house and yard - I should have another party quickly before it all falls apart again.
