Ninja Babies and Overzealous Vacuuming

Right now the kids are taking a break from cleaning the basement (one lego at a time), so I decided I should take a break too. They are playing Ninja Baby--They each have 1-2 babies and the run around pretending that the babies are ninjas. They do Karate and wrestle, fly and rescue people. It's a very inventive game! Here are some random pictures from the past week: Abbie and I enjoying some Michael's Frozen Custard during Nate's art class

How we found the kids playing pirate in the basement one day--they were clothes when they started Isn't Hailey just the cutest thing EVER?!

On a side note, I have recently decided that the vacuum is the single greatest cleaning invention ever. I have taken to vacuuming my wood floors before I mop, vacuuming the couches, vacuuming the baseboards, the bugs off the outside of the house and even the bathroom. The other day, I thought that it would be a great idea to just vacuum the bathroom counter--get all that hair, dust, crap, etc. off. Did it work?--CHECK. Did I suck up my eyeliner?--CHECK.
