So, I have a love of cleaning, weird I know, but I do. When I get started, I see more I have to do and get side tracked with something other then what I started with. Example, today I was folding laundry and when I put Daniels away in or bedroom, I decided it was a good time to clean the bathroom. When I was done with that I dusted our furniture, and walk to the living room to find my clothes still folded there to be put away. I laughed and of course put it away.
But on to the title at hand "cleaning with my kids." Before I could clean my whole house in less then two hours, with the music up loud and me dancing around while I cleaned. Not having to watch out for little hands that want to help, and grab sponges I just used to clean the toilet. (gross) It would also stay clean for about a week (in the easy areas), a month in the "spring cleaning" areas.
Now "The Hawk" is well aware when I leave a room, and demands for my attention, if I leave. (even thought I love that he loves me) It makes it harder to get the whole house cleaned in one day.
Also I have a very curious "Big Bird" who wants to help, and we are there teachers so I have to let him, also it make it so we are still hanging out having fun, even though I am cleaning. All day he was saying "actually I have to clean...because I have to." I loved it!
But it is just not the same. I clean and the next day toys are everywhere, Big Bird has over peed and hit the back and outside of the toilet, and dust just grows with more people. But I wouldn't change the cute memories of me with a big sock dusting and Big Bird with one of his, following right behind me. It is just nice to think about things in a new way. I guess the second have of the house will be there tomorrow. :)

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
Well here goes again...so I have not been blow drying my hair every chance I can get because, I was not so hot in the summer to do anything with it. My son did not inform me today (as he always had when I was little) "I don't like your hair up." Kids are honest.
I have not ever picked up all the clothes and put them on the bed in hopes to sort and do laundry with them, only to throw them back on the floor cause I did not forget to do something with them during the day and it is now bedtime. I also do not forget my laundry in the dryer and then do not find it still in there three days later, not me I am organized! I also have not picked up a shirt, smelled it to see if it smelled of formula or had a stain to then throw it on and go.
I do not have a regular diet meal plan I follow, and when its time for Talon to eat I do not feed him pb and j's for dinner. Not me, I have well balanced dinners here. I also did not find really low calorie dinners, just so I could have dessert!
Very last, I did not put my now four month old son in the nursery at church on Sunday, and I did not watch the number box almost the whole time, I heard the man, speaking......it was from the bible i am sure.
So that's me, hope you enjoy.

Top ten reasons to wake before your kids....
1.you can actually wake up your mind before all the questions of "why mommy" start.
2.if you like to work out, you can work out, without an almost three year old running around you in circles, trying to do the running in place part of the video.
3.you can shower without the thought of a crying baby, shave your legs, of hear a little voice say "it's slippery in there mommy?"
4.you can actually dry off from the shower without being tempted by a cute smiling baby, who looks at you like "pick me up mommy."
5.you can eat your breakfast, at a sensible pace, not just shoving it in, before you have to feed someone else.
6.you can brush your teeth without a little one saying, "I want to do mine too, right now"
7.you can put your makeup on without having to share your cotton balls or wedges, or brushes.
8.quite time with God.....should be number one on this list.
9.straighten up the house, before it becomes a disaster again.
10. and finally, you will be all ready so when those cute kiddos wake up, all your attention is on them, and you don't have to rush for the day and going places, cause you are already ready.
Guess I talked myself into waking up earlier then my kids.

Not me monday!
Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
Well this is my first blog and I thought it would be good to start it off with a not me Monday....which is definitely not Tuesday when I am writing it, because I did not think of everything I was going to blog about, as I was going to sleep.
So here goes. I did not find my son playing naked Yahtzee in the living room, no we wear clothes in this house. The next day when he asked me to put him in his bed to play (fully clothed), I did not forget I put him in there and did not find him naked in there later, no again, we wear clothes.
I had a lot going on this week and so did Daniel, so when the dog kicked his bowl over to be fed, I did not pick up the bowl and put it back on the mat and forget to put the food in, never. Also I have never forgotten that I have let the dog out, and then find he has been out sitting by the door for over an hour.
Also when creating this blog, I did not spend forty five minutes trying to figure out how to do everything while my son did not put stickers all over the floor and the bed..not the paper, no I have organized games here.
So far that's my not me Monday, and first blog. Hope you liked it, there will be more to come!
