I spent almost 8 hours cleaning yesterday.
Taking down the tree, cleaning all the tree shrapnel (looking forward to finding pine needles for the next few weeks). And for some reason when the tree was gone the living room was all "wrong" so I spent a good chunk of time moving furniture around only to of course have it end up pretty much where it started. I did however move a light which in my opinion adds a nice new warmth to the room. I spent lots of time putting away the ridiculous amount of Monster High dolls The Girl accumulated through her birthday and Christmas. But I could not just toss them in a drawer as I had spent some time lecturing her on how she has a nice collection and she must learn to take care and appreciate it. So I clear off a shelf just for the dolls. Well now the shelves are not symetrical and I should redo that middle shelf and well hell now I have to just clear off all the shelves and start from scratch. And on it went.
Today in a gesture of appreciation of The Girl being so supportive and patient with my cleaning distraction I said we could do what ever she wanted.
Gingerbread cookies.
Awww crap there goes my nice clean kitchen.
She made a Grandma cookie and a self portrait cookie.
The Boy just hung out under the table waiting for scraps to fall.
