Cost of Cleaning

When Ellie was a baby I caught our neighbor's cleaning service getting into their car and stopped them as they drove by.  I asked how much they charged as I was tempted to get some relief from toilets and mopping along with the medicines and feedings.  She said somewhere around $100 for a basic once over of the house.  As good as that sounded, I already felt like there were too many people in the house and could not take one more.

So when I want to get some cleaning done myself and I'm home alone with the kids - I find ways to keep everyone happy while I speed clean.  This weekend it happened to be that Ellie was having fun outside in the general area of some wet dirt, aka mud.  One second she was standing up around the mud while I weaved and bobbed around the corners with the vacuum...the next time I looked she was sitting down.  Right in it.

This is me knocking on the window and Ellie going "Umm, hey, is this ok?"

The price of cleaning folks.  Here it is right here.

As proof that baths are effective, here is the girl all cleaned up and ready for church with big sister.

And finally, Ellie joins the Super Bowl tradition of eating pizza before the game for the second year.  Here she is tonight handling the slice all on her own.

Here's 2015 only weeks after she started eating!

Back to tonight - the fans with the best seats in the house!
