Clean Up

Today we took down the Christmas decorations. This started with the Gingerbread house that the girls have been eating for the past few days. They had pretty much picked it clean but we gave them an ultimatum and they wanted to finish it off before it hit the trash. Killian decided to get in on the action too, which was all fun and games until he knocked it off the table and it broke. I wish I thought of that two days ago! While they were eating the candy and listening to Taylor Swift Charlotte exclaimed "we love Taylor Swift more than candy, right?... and Fruit". 

Chris had to run into work to finish some stuff so while he was gone the kids and I tried to clean. Killian was sporting his super cool new sunglasses.

The girls washed the windows, (and then dirtied them again) and helped mop the floor.

Killian helped vacuum. 

This afternoon (yes, the kids were in Jammie's all day again...) we took the ornaments and lights off the tree. Charlotte loved helping with the lights. Killian and Caroline loved eating the last of the candy canes that were left on! 

After dinner, which Killian threw 90% of to the dog, (on the vaccumed and freshly mopped floor) the kids had baths, Killian went to bed and the girls and Chris and I had game night. We try to have movie night on Fridays and Game night on Saturdays. We may have told Charlotte we couldn't remember what day it was when she asked yesterday, so when she woke up today and realized Chris wasn't going to work and we missed movie night she was not pleased. That meant no getting out of game night! We started with Don't Spill The Beans, which was terrible.

Then we played three games of "Hoot Owl Hoot" and the girls loved it!

Of course, they found something to whine and cry about before bed. I fell asleep with them at 7:30 last night, hoping to make it a little later tonight!
