I decided to do a quick vacuum of Kate's room before getting my swimsuit on and taking the kids out to the pool. I wondered why the vacuum wasn't picking up much stuff, and surmised that the bag must be full. I opened up the canister to find that there was no bag in the vacuum. Apparently the movers will pack up your garbage, but will not transport semi-full vacuum bags. Greaaaat.
After using the little vacuum cleaner to clean up the big vacuum cleaner mess (all the while thinking how Monica-like this action was: 'She is obsessive to the point that she even cleans her cleaning supplies, using a dustbuster to remove dirt from a vacuum cleaner and wishing there were an even smaller vacuum to clean the dustbuster.'), I put my swimsuit on. It was too quiet in the house, however, and I knew that this silence would come back to haunt me.
Sure enough, Kate had opened a tube of lotion ("sunscreen"), and most of a toddler piano, various parts of the loft, 2 chairs, and 2 toddlers were partially covered in baby lotion. And it was not my favorite-scented one, either.
We are now on our way out to the pool, if for no other reason than to wash the dust and lotion off.

Oh...that Monica thing with the vacuums in hilarious. I wish I were as obsessive as I used to be. I need to get off this damn computer and clean something.
Wow, sounds like something that would really annoy me. Movers are soooo wierd about what they will/won't take. Lame.
Makes the pool that much more worth it!
What? No pictures of the lotion decoration all over everything? Hope the pool was wonderful.
