I've been cleaning my house today. Tomorrow we host Easter dinner for a bunch of dear friends, old and new, and Nana and Papa. It was a quick morning, and the girls and I got a lot done. We had a huge list of to do's on the back of an old roll of wrapping paper. So much fun to check them off. Meanwhile, Jonathan and Owen went to Lowe's and bought a drill among other things. They did a lot of fix and improve projects around the house, like this:

| Hurrah! No more knife block taking up space on the counter!!! |
It was a longer afternoon of slower cleaning, but I still got a lot done. So, my house, after I finish mopping, will be almost as clean as my mom's house before a big event. I'll never get it as clean as my mom would get hers, but then again, how many of us will live up to our mother's spic 'n' span example? Either way, it's the cleanest it will be for weeks. I will just revel in the scent of kitchen cleaners while I upload photos from our portrait session at the Picture People.
Even though I'm usually disappointed in the quality, I'm a sucker for their $18 packages around the holidays. We waited 40 minutes before the poor, lone photographer was able to photograph us, so I snapped a bunch of photos in their window studio. Here are the kids, posing for me.

| Almost all looking. Then Summer laughed at me and said, "I looked that way." On purpose. |
