My house clean at last!

Okay last week I look around my house and notice I have been neglecting the "mucking out" cleaning in some spots in my house. I mean I clean everyday but the deep spring cleaning was missed this year. So only about 6 months late I decide to Spring clean before Katelyn's party and the general party season at my house. It starts with 3 in July, 1 in September, 3 in Oct, and 1 November. Then the Holidays hit Thanksgiving is usually here by my own choice! Christmas decorating after that! Now is the time to do the little fix it jobs and the late summer Spring cleaning. LOL

Things I did this week....

Carpet in the boys room (see blog below)
Laundry (seriously totally caught up ~sheets, towels, clothes~18 loads!!!!)

Vacuumed out all the couches ( I do this weekly anyway I have boys!)

Washed couch cushion covers 3 couches!

fixed some of the blinds

wiped the blinds down Dust ya know?

Cleaned windows around the house UGH!

Dusted my furniture

Dusted all china, china cabinets, and curio cabinets

Cleaned dumped on horizontal surfaces... You know the dump spot for every ones junk!

Bills/mail holder and surrounding counter space

Organized two kitchen cupboards

Top of fridge (whats up with that spot?)

Entry hall table (again the dump spot)

Crayon/hand prints off the walls LOL

Painted over crayon on the walls that wouldn't come off!

Fixed/ dusted Entertainment center (Corte pulled one of glass doors off and Rhett dropped it while trying to tattle very funny story.)

Cleaned out the fridge AGAIN! Yes I did that last week too! Darn kids and spills LOL

Wiped down the kitchen chairs. (Kids and dirty hands!)

Fixed Gossip couch in front room. ( one of the legs fell off and the kids pulled the front off the drawer)

Dusted/de-cluttered computer desk

Hung up new pictures of the kids

Cleaned out our bathroom cupboards under sinks and OVERLY scrubbed EVERYTHING

Put fronts back on the drawers in the kitchen (daddy doesn't know his own strength LOL)

Straightened up the bookshelf

Pulled down the curtains to wash them ( it has been 6 months!!!)

Mopped the house (that's a given)

replaced oven hinges and rubber seal (came home after our date night and the door was bent and wouldn't close all the way. That was three months ago. Had the parts but no time! I made time)

Cleaned the inside of the oven (pretty easy with the door off)
And in all the craziness I made a Cool cake!

The really neat thing is I didn't spend any money fixing stuff because I had it all here at the house or had bought it months ago. But I didn't have time to get to it.

The only spot that didn't get mucked or cleaned was my room! The boys use our room as a play room most of the time. But that's okay I will get it done while Will is off this week. See the problem is either he is asleep in the room or I am. So either wait until he goes to work or do it on his days off. I took some pictures of my house to FREEZE this moment in time! And to look at the pictures with hope that I can get it this way again.

Here are some of the shots after the party clean up...
