30 Thankful Days in Photos: Day 28

We had a fun weekend with Evan and family here. After we went exploring in Landstuhl, out to lunch, then back home, they packed up and headed out. I have enjoyed the extra company. It made our weekend less monotonous.
After they left I started cleaning. I do this any time any guests ever come to stay--especially when that includes kids. I did it at our old house in Virginia too. I know the house is bound to be a bit messier with anyone extra staying. It's just the way it is, I expect it, and enjoy the time with extra people.
I deep cleaned for three hours straight today. That wasn't just the guest bedrooms and bathroom (and laundry), but also my bathroom, the powder room (1/2 bath), kitchen, living room, dining room, couches, stairwell, and wiping down all the surfaces, doorhandles and light switches that needed it anyway.
Now I can sit down and relax. It feels good to be in my nice, clean house. I am really thankful for a clean house. It's much easier to feel comfortable and at ease after I've cleaned.
