Clean up week

Well this week we are preparing for Grandma Judy’s visit with six nieces and nephews, talk about a house full, with eleven people in the house space will be at a premium. We have set up the spare room upstairs (papa’s old room) and have room for all four girls to sleep up there, and moved Lindsey’s twin sized bed into Charlie’s room so that there is now room for the three older boys to share that room, and Lindsey’s small bed has been replaced with a queen sized tall air bed. Tom and Judy will have Lindsey’s room and we will keep the big bed and have Levi with us. So, we have a place for everyone to sleep and we have a place to we room for everyone to eat together, but we only have one couch and a couple of chairs, so sitting together to talk or watch TV may be a bit hard, unless its just adults or a few of the kids. They will be coming down from Maryland on Friday and staying that night, then Saturday we are off to the beach. We some friends that have a house out at Emerald Isle, NC, and we rented it for the weekend. Saturday we will head out to the beach, about one and a half hour drive, and we will stay there until Monday.

Until then it is clean up week, going room to room and getting up all the accumulated toys, school papers, clothes, shoes, candy wrappers, dvd cases, and anything else that doesn’t belong. The challenge will then be to keep the destruction at bay until everyone arrives, once everyone is here it will be a free for all.
