Magic Slideshow

I didn't work at the Y today, so I thought it would be good to clean up the house. When I looked around I was overwhelmed at how fast things can get out of hand! So I thought it would be fun to put together a before and after slideshow...yes this is probably most entertaining to me but I have to say it has already paid off. Emily was practicing her spelling list at the kitchen table. When she was done, I asked her to put away the marker bin. She huffed and says, "you always make me do everything!" I then calmly told her to meet me in the basement. I showed her the magic slideshow and asked her if she still thought SHE did EVERYTHING. Of course she had no answer, but gave me her embarrissed smile. I also overheard Ry tell his friend not to mess up the house because mom worked hard today. Hooray for fun slideshows!!! A picture is worth a thousand words. Fear not..as you can see I still have a huge pile of laundry hehehe.

OK, no more of these posts showing how much you get done... it just makes the rest of us feel like lazy couch potatoes.

Hurray! Every Mother should take before and after photos! It's about time they got some respect.
Loved your magic slide show!

Too funny -- your "before" shots look like my "after" shots on the days we get around to cleaning. You may think I'm joking, but I'm not... ;^)

This is part of why I'm glad we're moving from a house to an apartment -- fewer rooms to get messy and to clean up....

Ooh I love this post, for 2 reasons. First, it is so fun to see where you live out your days as an old married woman, Ms. Hamer! :) Makes me miss you, even though I've never been there...

And second, it IS fun. I love the before and afters, and am inspired to go clean my messy place now.

Love and miss you!
