I was walking up the stone steps to go help inside, when I realized i had forgotten all about the ruined potted plants! I walked the trash to the trash cans in hopes that Mom and Dad wouldn’t notice how much trash we went through over the course of the day.

Clean up clean up everybody everywhere how to#
(I really don’t know how to explain it but it looked like they were melting.

Wet cheese balls slowly melted into the grass. When I finished the toilet paper mess, I scurried to get all the trash off the grass. I had to get the big blue ladder from the garage to get the toilet paper that someone threw on the roof. It felt soggy in my hands and it made me feel like I wanted to throw up. The rain pitter-pattered harder and harder and harder as I tried to throw away the wet toilet paper. “You clean the inside, I’ll get the outside.” I said as I rushed to throw some flip-flops on and get two black trash bags to pick up all the trash in the yard. Somebody toilet-papered our house, threw trash in the front yard, and sprayed silly string like they didn’t care! Someone also tipped the potted plants over so the soil spilled and the plants lost some leaves. I ran to the window so I could see what she was talking about and I gasped. “Just wait until you see the outside.” She muttered. You don’t have to rush.” I assured her.Įverleigh mumbled something under her breath that I couldn’t understand. With the rain they’ll be slowed in traffic. She even ran to the kitchen where I heard her slamming cabinets and drawers closed. We’re thirty minutes away from the house.” My jaw dropped open as she gave the news, but I quickly responded with “Okay”.Įverleigh shook with terror as she ran around the house and picked up every piece of trash in sight. “Okay, I just wanted to let you know that with the horrible rain, our flight has been canceled. “Gross, who brought american cheese slices? And why did they melt it into the couch?” Everleigh asked, gagging as she wiped it with a dirty dish rag.īeep beep beep beep… beep beep beep beep… I answered the phone and I was surprised to see it was Mom. “Yeah right.” I walked over to the couch and took the cushions off the couch only to reveal a gross, food filled couch. “The couch is clean.” Everleigh announced. She gagged so hard I thought she might throw up. “Oh come on, Bree.” Everleigh picked the mint gum off the couch along with whatever else. “Ugh! What is it with twin sisters! I wish I had a brother.” I added, mumbling under my breath reasons why I thought she was the worst sister in the world. “Gosh, Bree! You said that you agreed! It wasn’t entirely my fault.” Everleigh’s face turned red as she threw a Cheeto puff at me from across the room. “But now I think it’s the worst idea you’ve ever had. Luckily they wouldn’t be home for a few days, so we definitely had time to clean up. When Mom and Dad left for Hawaii this morning, we decided it would be a great idea to throw a party. We’d never gone to a party or thrown one. “Was it a bad idea? Y’know, having a party while Mom and Dad aren’t here?” Everleigh asked.Įverleigh and I were twins, fourteen years old, both of us. It’s how I do my research.The pretzels and popcorn were spilled onto the floor and stomped into the, what once was pristine, rug.Įverleigh bent over and picked up red Solo cups and put them into her black trash bag.

I also included 7 other AWESOME tips and tricks to get your toddler cleaning up as well. He did have a favorite that we eventually settled on, but you and your toddler are going to love this kids clean up song list. Most preschool aged children LOVE music, so I set out to find some of the best cleanup songs out there and my son loved them. So I made sure to put a considerable effort into teaching my son how to pick up and put away his toys instead of just picking up after him everyday by on my own.įinding a way to make cleaning up fun was probably one of the most effective ways to get my toddler to clean up. For me, constantly stepping over and stepping on toys everywhere is just not okay (well at least not all the time). It’s so fun for toddlers to create the mess, but when it comes to cleaning up, well that’s a problem. But here is the issue that I’m sure we can probably all predict.
