Cleaning Day

As I mentioned before, we spent Valentine’s Day cleaning our new house. It took all day Saturday and a good part of the day Sunday. And let me just say this: it is NO fun cleaning 3 bathrooms, let alone cleaning 3 bathrooms worth of dirt and grime that was not created by you….gross. Oh, and there was dog hair everywhere! Jeez, I don’t know how the previous owners could stand it. But, after all of our hard work the house is finally clean!

My husband cleaning away…any ideas of how can I get him to keep doing this once we move in?

My mother-in-law, Connie, and sister-in-law, Erin. I have the best family in the entire world, don’t you think?

Our expert cleaner, my father-in-law, Jon.

My mom wanted to see the back yard. So of course the day I go to take pictures of it is the day we get snow dumped on us. This is the deck…obviously.

View to the right. Isn’t it weird how no one has a fence? I think it is so strange. In California everyone has a fence! About 80% of the houses we looked at didn’t have fences….it must be a weird Michigan thing.
