We've hired some girls to come clean all the windows inside and out today.

We have security bars on all the windows, so they're a huge pain to wash...and this family really needs the money. Win-win as far as I'm concerned.

1. Points.

2. I made my new daily challenge to swish and swipe the bathroom daily. I'm so discouraged with my bathroom right now, though, with the way Jose has it mid-project, that I'm struggling to keep up with it. I need to get in there and just deep clean it as if he wasn't going to make a mess of it again.

This week WILL be better. I'm not PMSing anymore which was the problem last week and it's going to be raining straight for the next 2 days so I can't get out of housework by playing in the yard (although my yard looks great because I've done a lot of weeding). I do want to try and make sure I'm not doing housework to the point of not playing with G, even if I don't want to sit and play trains for the 150th time today. I'm also trying to spend less time doodling around on the computer, that's not productive for anyone.

SO, this week: more intentional time with G
more productive housework time (you know, verses the unproductive times when you just walk around thinking about what you need to do)
Big list goals: master bedroom and counter attack
survive the rainy days

Kicking this week off with a bang! We are making decorations AND doing a field trip to the mountains for fun family time today! woo hoo!

So far we've partially made two pumpkins (Julianna and Evie while working on cutting and gluing skills!) and Grace has done part of http://www.dltk-holidays.com/halloween/wreath/index.htm she's doing the pumpkins and Jayden is doing the ghosts.

Mt. Washmore - This, my friends, is a laundry challenge. You might just want to pair up this challenge with the Bedding challenge for maximum awesomeness. In this challenge, we’re going to clean our laundry room and do the laundry. Wipe down your washer and dryer. Run a load of bleach or vinegar through the washer. Run the vacuum wand down the lint trap of your dryer. Clean underneath the appliances if you can. Recycle empty detergent containers. Best of all: take double laundry points all week. Oh yeah, that just happened. 500pts

That is SO Trashy! - Clean out, wipe down and otherwise de-goo the trash cans and recycling bins in your house. Replace things that need replacing. Please note that you absolutely have my permission to have your children do this. Take the points because you are responsible for them. It’s only right. (per bin/can) 25pts

Monday - out of town
Tuesday - 1500pts
Wednesday - 2170pts (cooked turkey and the fixings plus cleaned washer)
Thursday - 995pts
Friday - 430pts
Weekend - 1205pts

Lawn And Garden - This week, take a look at your yard and think about what you need to do to prep for the coming weather. Fall at your house? Time to clean out the garden! Prune what needs to be pruned, pull weeds, trim bushes. Prep flower beds. (Don’t include any planting in this challenge as that is a whole other challenge.)

I'm not PMSing anymore which was the problem last week and it's going to be raining straight for the next 2 days so I can't get out of housework by playing in the yard (although my yard looks great because I've done a lot of weeding). I do want to try and make sure I'm not doing housework to the point of not playing with G, even if I don't want to sit and play trains for the 150th time today. I'm also trying to spend less time doodling around on the computer, that's not productive for anyone. SO, this week: more intentional time with G more productive housework time (you know, verses the unproductive times when you just walk around thinking about what you need to do) Big list goals: master bedroom and counter attack survive the rainy days __________________ Wife to V since 5/19/07 my hard workin man Mom to G since 8/10/09 my crazy 10 yo Z since 9/10/13 my wild thing 6 yo Surprise!
