The house is cleanish!

So it really does work to invite someone over and then have to clean your house.
We had one of my professors over for dinner. She is funny and is interesting to watch with children and also happens to be a nun which makes things an interesting mix.
Jim got into canning some meat stock that he made so he ended up spending almost the entire day in the kitchen by the time he had cooked dinner.
I got almost everything clean upstairs except the kitchen floor (which was being occupied by Jim as he worked).
The toys did not really get put away downstairs until it became a distraction for the kids while Jim got dessert ready in between dinner and dessert. So my professor helped us clean up the play room.
The kids had a great time since they love having people over.
