Another mom of the year (MOY) entry

I have been dreading this day for a while now.... the day before book club. Which means, I HAVE to clean my house thoroughly. None of this surface stuff that I've been doing for months and months. So, I spent over TWO hours just scrubbing gunk and milk off of the dining room chairs, table and stools. Yeah, TWO hours. So when Kent brought the kids home from the one hour trip to Costco I decided they would have a picnic on the deck. I didn't want them touching anything. It's ok that it's 24 degrees out, right? Get your shoes on, you're eating outside! They thought it was a great idea. However, they were somewhat naughty and had to come in faster than I anticipated. So, I had to resort to them eating on the kitchen floor. This I did feel bad about, because it is still not clean. I couldn't take pics. of this, because I didn't want to be reported to CPS. They were happy enough because it was different and the girls weren't locked up in the boosters, so they could roam the floor. I still have 4 more meals until book club gets here. What is a girl to do? Mickey D's anyone? Notice the girls don't even have matching shoes on, which is becoming normal for Ellie's wardrobe.

These pics. are from the other night when I made pudding, never a good idea right before bed. It's messy and there's pudding all over faces and pjs.
