Scrubbing Day

After the repiping project there was a thick layer of drywall dust covering everything in our house.  The plumbers did a good job of cleaning up the big stuff, but there was no way they could get it all, so the first thing we had to do when we returned was clean.  Everything.  It also was a school day for Travis so we had to start with that and then I would work on cleaning while they played.

You would not believe my luck!

The history lesson was about Scrubbing Day in Holland, when all of the families go outside and scrub the windows and houses and even the house boats on the canals.  So one of the projects was to pick something in your house to scrub!  It was awesome!  Of course Justin wanted in the fun so he got a sponge and scrubbed right next to Travis.  Travis had a lot of fun and he even cleaned the bathtub.  The plumbers cut holes right above the counter where my toothbrush was sitting (yuck!) so it was relegated to cleaning toothbrush and Travis even scrubbed the grout in the shower.   




Sometimes homeschooling has its perks!
