Ssshhhh!!! Don't Tell

We are meeting my parents, 3 of my sisters, 1 brother-in-law, and 1 niece in Nauvoo, IL tomorrow (Tuesday) night. We will be spending 2 days there and Thursday night all will be at my house. So today I am trying to get ready to provide (hopefully) comfort and fun for my family.
Needless to say - I am a Procasinator Extraordinaire. So today has been full of choices!

This is what I have so far avoided doing (and it is after 3 pm).

But there is a load in the basket to be folded and one on the line and one in the washer (so I am slowly working on it...)

Super Gross Floor!! Why does it have to look like this 3 times a day - I just cleaned it this morning? (Mom, it will be clean when you get here - Promise!!)

One day I know they will happily and without my asking clean up the toys!! Right?

What is the trick to keeping him out of my office?

This is what I did instead!!

Extremely unappealing strawberry jam - what went wrong? Who knows!!

Photobucket
So, I went outside and picked a bunch of these!! Yum - my fav.

Photobucket
Grabbed these out of the fridge!!

Smashed them all up together!! Oooohh-looks better already.

Don't you think this is a better way to take care of your guests than clean towels and sheets?

Emergency jam session! I love it. You're right, the second set of jam looks much more appetizing than the first set.

Hope you're having fun with the fam!
