First up, my two cleaning items that are used daily. My handy dandy Shark vacuum and my swiffer sweeper jet.
The Shark vacuum is the best thing ever for keeping my floors cleaned - especially with a little one crawling everywhere. It is very easy, super light, and picks up anything - especially big things like cheerios, dirt, grass, and even things like nuts and bolts. It does a pretty decent job on sand too. Its not a deep cleaning vacuum, but it does all the top stuff. Its so nice to clean the floors in a couple minutes. You can even dump it without having to touch anything dirty. It retails for around $60, but Stephen got it at a resale for under $20. Great purchase!
Second is my swiffer sweeper. I'm not a huge fan of a non-heavy duty mop, but if you clean often, this does the job. It doesn't get super stuck heavy stuff off the floor, but smudges, light spills, and dirty spots it does great. It has replace-able pads, so no rinsing out dirty mops, getting a sink of water for your mop. It has an electric sprayer that sprays out your cleaner, mop and you're done!
Next is my clorox cleaning wipes. I'm not sure why it took me so long to discover these things. Maybe when my son started potty training and cleaning the whole bathroom every time he went wasn't fun?! These are so easy to take one or a couple and wipe down the bathroom in two minutes. That way the bathroom stays clean for company and you don't have to haul out the dirty rags and cleaner. Voila!
Today had a lot of cleaning going on. We cleaned and washed both cars, including cleaning and washing the car seats. Yesterday Micah's new car seat arrived and it made me want to have the other two nice and clean!
The house was filthy but tis now clean, laundry done, the kids and I played water balloons for a long time, and Micah loved sitting on my lap outside with water gently spraying in his mouth. Funny!
I also started couch to 5 k again, and the first workout wasn't fun, but I feel better - looser somehow. I was so hot I felt like I was about to explode, but after playing in the water with the kids it was much better.
Yesterday we went to Hannah and Micah's and the kids had a great time playing in their pool together.
Daniel learned to put his head in the water and blow bubbles! He thought it was great.

Silly Jonathan - he freaked out at first when he got it! Never been in a pool that deep where he could actually touch the bottom. He didn't know what to do! Having not been the most steady on his feet, he finally was ok to be in the floatie.
