Cleaning Wm

We had to spend a bunch of our weekend cleaning the house because I fired the cleaning lady. Perhaps I was too hasty...

Wm actually did a GREAT job. His room has never looked better. He picked it up (which is all he usually has to do because then the cleaning lady shows up and does everything else!) But then, I showed him how to dust and organize his things. He did a super job!! After that, Steve showed him how to sweep it properly. When he was done, his room looked even better than when the cleaning ladies came!! He really did a bang up job in there!! We have had the cleaning lady for so many years, he was not expected to do these chores when he was a little bit. So it was about time for him to learn, anyway! Steve is crabbier about having to clean the bathroom.

In addition to some trips to IKEA and Costco and random other chores, we got take out from one of Steve's favorite places and vegged for a while. He, however, put KETCHUP on his MAC AND CHEESE. Wm and I were disgusted. Here is the abomination (and those are devil horns, not cat ears):

Grossest human alive

Flip also had a good weekend. Here he is at the park with his BFF, Iggy. For reference, Flip is over 50 lbs and is by no means a small dog. Check out how Iggy dwarfs him. I swear, Wm could easily saddle and ride Iggy!! During tug o' war, Flip was ALL in, giving it everything he had. And Iggy was like, "you're adorable."

Tug o' war

Also, I busted Steve big time. He was sitting on the couch, Flip was draped across him, snoozing and doing his contented lip smacking. Steve was petting him and he looked down and sighed and goes, "Oh, Flip, I love you more than life." BOOM!!!! I mean, I hate to say I told you so...buuuuuut...I KNEW Steve would end up loving that dog more than anything.

When I went to get Wm up this morning, the entire menagerie was in his bed. I told Wm to check out his pillow partner. He and Luna are besties. Here is Wm softly petting her cutely at 6am. She slept next to his head all night. (And this is why I cannot make a Luna skin cap out of her. I think she knows. So she sucks up to Wm. Evil genius.)
