February 11 and 12

Busy weekend.   Much cleaning.  Definitely, much vacuuming!

Cleaning tasks undertaken this weekend:

Cleaning the outside, inside, back side, and surrounding space around our little electric fireplace heater.  Objects found underneath said heater:  A domino, a plastic easter egg, a wooden bead, a marble, and an orange dog ball.  And some collections of dog hair big enough to be counted as objects.

Washing walls and tiles and everything in between on the window and sink walls in the bathroom.

Other tasks undertaken this weekend: 

Baking and decorating 4 dozen cookies for the Valentine's Tea. 
Making Dinner Swap and a vat of baked potato soup (credit for the latter going to Nat).
Preparing said Valentine's Tea.
Taking children swimming.
A rather ridiculous amount of shopping at Zagara's and Target that somehow needs to happen weekly.
Building and painting and installing a new window seat (credit for this venture again goes to Nat.  And by the way, the new window seat rocks.)
A number of games of checkers.
Creating homemade Valentine's while simultaneously supervising the use of glitter by several children.

Lest you think that deep cleaning our house is my life.

Valentine haiku


heart shaped paper scraps
the laughter of children shines
like so much glitter
