Holy kid hurricane

I had big plans today. We were going to go to OMSI and hang out there for awhile.  Maybe even try to go to the bigger kids exhibit. Oh and then after go have lunch  or maybe even go to the husbands work and have lunch with him. Then I looked around the house .....Didn't I just clean the house last night? It is amazing how two kids can destroy a house in less than 12 hours.  I guess I should be happy that we have a small house to begin with.

Here is just the down stairs.  And this is after I swept up all the popcorn my daughter dumped on the floor and the milk that had spilled.  I thought of writing a blog after I had already worked on their room.  Yes, my kids share a room due to our condo being just two rooms.  But I love that they share a room.  One room to clean plus I think that this also makes them have to play together.  

Can I just show you two of my favorite cleaning tools that I own?  Okay, you already see the picture.  Meet my Shark steam mop and my Shark vacuum.  The vacuum gets used EVERYDAY.  Why?  Didn't I just mention that I have two kids who are the Tasmania devil reincarnated?  So the vacuum is great since it has NO CORD.  Nothing to trip on and easy to glide down the hall and around the kitchen and living room.  Oh and it gets used in the bathroom since sometimes the kitty litter goes every where.  Please don't mind the electrical tape around the handle.  Besides that, it is perfect and if it ever breaks, I will get another one.  (And please, if you have one and think they suck, I don't care.  These are my opinions and that is all that matters.

Then we have the wonderful steam mop.  We live in Oregon and it is the rainy season.  Okay, so most of the year it is the rainy season so this thing gets used a lot.  Especially since people don't seem to take their shoes off when they come into our house.  I even have a sign at the door. I know that most people find this odd but again, I have a three year old and a one year old.  They were crawling and I hate thinking of all the dirt and grossness they would have been crawling through and then them putting their tiny hands into their little mouths.  Kind of vomiting in my mouth as I write this.

Okay, back on track.  So as you can see, the pad that is currently on the steam mop is dirt.  That is because I used it today.  Why, okay, so the floor has seen applesauce, orange pop (yup, the bad mom in me gave my son orange pop), popcorn and anything else my kids have eaten or drank today.  Oh and milk too that my daughter was drinking.  

Well I just heard something falling to the floor, probably the chex cereal that I just gave her.  Time to go clean again.  So glad I recharged my Shark battery while Mia was asleep.

I think my next post should be about how many train sets my son has.  Luckily we have a train table in their room that has two big drawers.
