Snow Shoveling in July?

Have you Moms heard the quote, "Cleaning the house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling snow while it's still snowing?" Today was one of those days. I am so glad the kids were having fun and actually getting along, though. They combined forces and made a fort. This fort is deluxe, complete with stuffed animals, fold-down nap pillows, light sabers (in case of intruders), music, paper chain decor, trophies, a night light... you name it, this fort has it all! All this was accomplished while I was scrubbing the bathrooms, vacuuming, dusting and changing linens.
Not ten minutes later, they'd decided to make the kitchen into a literal battlefield. I think there were at least 110 army guys all over the floor.
Next, I asked the kids to throw their laundry downstairs. and they thought it would be funny to throw down half the contents of their rooms as well. The neat freak in me just couldn't take a picture.
When Darren comes home from work, I'm sure he'll ask, "And what did YOU do today?"

Yeah, I really don't know why we even bother cleaning the house until they're 18. Cute pics! Nathan is jealous of the fort.
