We got up and told the girls the plan. I have never seen them so excited to clean. They raced their hearts out and had their room and Nater's room clean before we were even half way done with our room. They earned a movie each and watched while we worked. The next race was putting clothes away (I didn't participate in this one because I was still working on cleaning our bedroom). They got all of their clothes put away before Philip finished with his. They won the puzzle they had been waiting to play with. We had a snack break and a final race. Philip did kitchen, girls did dining room, and I did living room. Philip won- the girls had a rough time finishing, but they did. The whole house was mostly clean and it was only lunch time. Not only did we have the weekend, we had all the rest of the day too to play. I love how motivated my family gets with cleaning competitions. It sure does make cleaning a lot more fun!
So, only half way through our DONSA and we didn't have anything in particular that we needed to do. The girls played. The boy played and napped. We got a package from Grammy. I napped and talked on the phone and played. Philip played with his R/Cs and did some shopping. Eventually we put the kids to bed. Philip grounded me to my room and prepared an at home date for the two of us. I decided to shower and dress up for my date (he had snuck some clothes out of the room and dressed up too). He made me steak, potatoes and sweet corn. We ate until we couldn't any more and talked. Then we spent the evening doing our own things until bed time (I got so many more pictures sorted on my computer- maybe I will be able to finish sometime this year!).
Overall, it was a wonderful and very productive day! I am loving the cleanliness and organization of the house right now and all this free time to enjoy a weekend.
Oh, and while I was all dressed up we snapped a quick shot of the baby belly. I am 25 weeks along (or so) right now.
