Today was house cleaning day and I got lots of help!

Shelby first helped me strip the bed so I could wash the sheets.


Thomas made sure the dryer was ready for when the sheets got dry.


Thomas said things were all clear, but Leo had to double check.


Abby supervised the whole operation to make sure everyone was doing their job.


Thomas dusted the furniture.


And Shelby said she'd make sure everything smelled fresh.


Abby decided she'd run the vaccuum.


While the boys tackled the bathroom.


Thomas went to get everyone some water, but he never came back. When I went looking for him to see what the hold up was, I found him relaxing with the water. <slacker!>


So with the help of all my sweet babies, we got the house cleaned. Cooper always gets nervous when there's a lot of activity, so he stayed under the bed until everyone stopped moving so much.

Thomas is the MOST helpful of the helpers. In fact, he can downright trip ya because he's constantly underfoot!
I wanted to take some pictures of Cooper too...but he was in hiding all day.

Thomas and Cooper are such polar opposites that it's hard to believe they are brothers.

Thomas is intrigued with anything and everything.
Cooper is scared of anything and everything.

Thomas loves to be chased and play games.
Cooper prefers to be snuggled up next to me when things are quiet.

Thomas is energetic and rambuctious.
Cooper likes things very calm and quiet.

Just like children I suppose.....they are all different regardless of the fact that they are siblings.

What good little helpers! Trent always helps with the bedding too.
I love that picture of Shelby making sure everything smells nice. The look on her face is just classic!

I know!! That made me laugh so hard. Shelby's such a cutie! I also love the fact that Thomas is trying to help out a bit from the corner of the frame.


Thomas and Cooper sound much like Molly and Penelope. M & P are sisters but really polar opposites when it comes to personalities. Penelope is a big "helper"
when I'm doing chores. Penelope explains why "curiosity killed the cat." Molly on the other hand explains the word "scaredy-cat." She hisses and runs under the bed when she sees me with the vacuum or the laundry basket. The vacuum is clearly a "monster" but the laundry basket? Sheesh...

Thanks everyone


The comments regarding Shelby's expression.......she made me laugh too. I kept my camera on the shelf in the living room while I was cleaning so that I could take pictures of the kitties helping me whenever they decided to do something cute. I had just taken the picture of Thomas with dust rag and was about to put my camera down when I turned and saw Shelby standing up on back feet with her front paws on the vanity chair with the Febreeze. I snapped the picture just in time.
And Thomas really did go into the water box and lay down.

All of the actors are real. Nothing has been staged.
