This is what the house looks like after 5 days of Christmas parties, never being home because your visiting family and dealing with a teething toddler and sick Daddy.
It has required 1 hour of washing dishes, 3 loads of laundry (so far), trying to find places to put all of our new stuff while also going through all of our old stuff and getting rid of boxes and bags full, coffee and really loud music and we are starting to look clean again. :-)
