A Day to Remember or Forget?

It all started at 6:30 am. Brady was on his way to the gym and proceeded to fall down the stairs. The landing didn't stop him. Oh no, he continued to tumble down and landed head first, feet up with one foot hanging on the railing. With only a huge scrape, he managed to do his work out. Since it was "cleaning day", I was working my tail off trying to get the laundry and cleaning done. While I was thus engaged, Lily left a "present" on the carpet, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Well, that carpet is cleaner now! After Jace played outside, he walked in the door and through the kitchen with a trail of shoe shaped mud following him. So, he helped mop the floor. Continuing to be a good helper, Jace was clearing the dinner dishes that were stacked and didn't quite make it over the doggie gate. Crash! Jace, a broken favorite dish, and baked potatoes everywhere. Jace escaped free of injury, but the dish was put to rest in the garbage and the carpet was cleaned again. It was FHE night so we decided to go to the free exhibition basketball game at the Unversity. As my helper Jace was hasty in getting ready to go, he forgot there was mud on his shoes and left another trail on (you guessed it!) THE CARPET! Forget it! I let it dry and decided to vacuum it in the morning.
The game was a blast, we won, my house was clean, especially the carpet! Whew!
