Holiday Home Blessing Challenge - Nov 8th/9th Weekend

[KatieMae]

Before you ask...
1. You have the entire weekend to do these two things, it doesn't matter which day, or if you spread it over both days.
2. Going to church does not count for "Devotions", sorry shifty
3. There are no 5-minute challenge points on the weekend. The thread might still pop up, but weekends are pretty hectic for most of us, so I don't want you to think that you have to keep checking in until the board closes hug
4. Points will be updated mid-day on Monday!

Have a great, relaxing weekend everyone. (And thank you all, I'm doing better this morning - but last night, not fun :no2)

Also, we have several new members this week, so this would be a great time to make-up any challenges, if you want ;) The only ones that can't be made-up are Oct 27 & 28.

Someone has been sick all weekend. :( Today S is feeling better, but E & dh were both under the weather.


Thursday catch-up:
CHALLENGE: Formal Dining Room/Kitchen table and Dining storage
Do whatever you have in your home as far as places to eat. Check the ceilings for cobwebs, dust the blinds or curtains (check the windows for smudge-marks), wipe & shine the furniture, spot-clean any upholstered chairs, sweep the floor (clean it if it needs it!) 200pts per dining area--I even mopped!!!!

Friday catch-up:
CHALLENGE: Secondary bedrooms
This will be kids' rooms, guest rooms & maybe spare-room-turned-scary rooms, if you have have the time & energy! 250pts/room
Tidy (kids should definitely help in their rooms!)
Clean off cobwebs & dust lights/fans
Dust and/or vacuum furniture & wall hangings
Clean windows & mirrors
Sweep or vacuum floor

BONUS: Pre-Weekend Tidy (best done in the afternoon, if you can)
This will work great with the 5-minute challenge, so make sure you play along in that thread!
Spend a few minutes - no more than 15 - in each "public" room in your house. De-clutter things that don't belong, "straighten up", if something is particularly dirty (messy counter or dusty mantle) take a second to clean it properly, then sweep/vacuum the floor. 50pts/room
I did the entry & family rooms 100 points

total: 566 points

DH is gone until tomorrow mid-day so I'm going to try to get a ton of stuff done while he's away (as long as dd and the puppy allow for me to take occasional breaks from playing to do so). ;)


Total Points for Sat/Sun: 1191
400 for Holiday Planning (I was working on it all morning so I didn't even know what the challenge was until AFTER I was finished)
150 for playtime! 90 minutes of shrieking, giggling fun of "the tickle monster" ((daddy)) and running behind mama. :P~ Now dd is asleep and dh hit the road to go to his birthday gift (a concert 5 hours away).
172 pts for laundry! 8 full loads done, two more washed and dried! :jump2 Now I'm almost half-way done. :shifty
75 pts for hot spots and cleaning--- MY HOUSE IS GETTING SO CLEAN... Well, its getting cleaner anyways. ;)
+250 for cleaning dd's room (challenge from the 7th if I'm correct)

[mom2threegirls]

Lots of laundry done- 6 loads completely done. 120 points.

Finished the dining room deep clean for 200 points (finally!).

2 hours of holiday planning. One planning the menu and calling people for Thanksgiving. Looks like it will be small :sigh but that's actually a good thing (I just don't get why close family members would prefer to go out to dinner instead of going to their kids' house :scratch :(). And another hour planning the Christmas lights. I'm trying to make what we had for our old house work for the new and get it up this week so they're all set for the day after Thanksgiving :yes :rockon. 400 points

Devotions done both days 200 points. Shiny sink Saturday for 20 points.

I also washed and waxed both cars and finished staining the fence! :woohoo More stuff to cross off the list!

Looks like a total of 940 for the weekend :rockon.

Wow...I needed this! I got my mom to take our family pic for our Christmas cards, picked out the cards and got them ordered, made a list of addresses and contacted people to get missing ones, made menus for when dh's family is here for Christmas, and did various other holiday planning things. It feels better to have some of that done! 400 pts

I also got caught up on:
Nov. 7 CHALLENGE: Secondary bedrooms
This will be kids' rooms, guest rooms & maybe spare-room-turned-scary rooms, if you have have the time & energy! 250pts/room
Tidy (kids should definitely help in their rooms!)
Clean off cobwebs & dust lights/fans
Dust and/or vacuum furniture & wall hangings
Clean windows & mirrors
Sweep or vacuum floor
2 rooms x 250 pts = 500pts
BONUS POINTS: 100pts for every set of bedsheets you change (you still get points above for laundering them too!) We all sleep in one bed so this was easy!

I just have to say that my house is looking sooooo much better. Dh and I have both really been enjoying the fruits of all this labor! We actually wouldn't want to crawl in a hole if someone called and said they'd be here in 15 minutes. It's so much work, but so freeing at the same time.

Total for this weekend and catch up = 1600 pts :rockon

Otherwise not a hugely productive weekend...until yesterday afternoon. DH took off all the storm windows in the dining room and I scrubbed the windows--six pane over six pane, NO removable grill--inside and out! Can I get any kind of points for that?? PLEASE?! :P~

10/30 - CHALLENGE: FAMILY ROOM
The room in your house that's used for gathering together - living room, family room, den, whatever you call it - that's where you're going to be today. Let's clean it top-to-bottom: Remove the cobwebs in the corners, Dust the ceiling fan and/or light fixture, Vacuum or dust the window coverings, windowsills, mantle/fireplace surround & baseboards, Dust all the furniture & picture frames and Vacuum the upholstered furniture (you know you're going to find some money in there!), Clean the window panes, tv screens & any other glass in the room, Vacuum/sweep the floors & use the wand attachment on your vacuum to clean right up to the edge of the baseboard. Suggestion: spend your de-cluttering time in here as well... walk into the room & the most obvious mess/pile is where you should start. Let's make it clean & tidy so you can enjoy it all weekend. This is a big one for many of us, so it's a big point-value too!

Dh and I spent an entire kid-free day cleaning the living/family rooms top to bottom. It took us from 10 am to 10 pm. It's actually 2 rooms that the wall between them has been removed. I'm tired and sore today, but it's cleaner than it's been, um, ever.
