Productive Day

Me: Dusting

Travis, age 4: Trying to help. Gets distracted. Races around room flinging dust cloth through the air.

Noah, age 2: Trying to help. Gets distracted by older brother. Races around the room following a flying dust cloth, swatting at dust speckles floating through the air.

Sophie, age 9 months. Crawling around the room, trying to get my attention, screaming bloody murder.

Ben: Snoring on the couch.
-----------------------

Me: Vacuuming

Travis: Running around the room, pretending to avoid getting swept up by the vacuum cleaner. Occasional screeching.

Noah: Running around the room, emulating his older brother. Has no idea what he's supposed to be pretending to do. Constant screeching.

Sophie: Sitting square in the middle of the floor, tears streaking down her cheeks and full-on wail in high power.

Ben: Snoring on the couch.

------------------------

Me: Steam Cleaing

Travis: Sliding around the carpet. Leaving soggy footprints everywhere.

Noah: Still following his brother. Leaving soggy footprints everywhere.

Sophie: Being toted around the living room as she forces her mother to steam clean one-handed. Occasional sniffle.

Ben: Snoring on the couch.
