It's amazing how much entertainment kids get out of the simplest things. Take a Cheerios cereal box for example! Michael entertained Lily for hours with his makeshift top hat. Lily made us some very tasty Crayola Crayon, Crocodile Puzzle Piece, Building Block soup, as you can see in the picture. We all had to taste it and say, "Yummy! Yummy! Yummy!" I'm not sure if she is going to be a clothing designer (she picks out her own clothes every day, and she's only 1 & 1/2 ) or a Top Chef!I hope you don't mind all these pics of Lily. She's such a ham that there is plenty of opportunity for pictures! Plus, we've been cooped up inside for the last two weeks thanks to the weather.
We are already making money. Brian asked us to clean all the windows on his house, which is a beautiful 2-story home. We're making $30/hr for that. Everytime I clean windows I realize why so many cleaners put on their cards, "Don't Do Windows!"
One of Michael's all-time favorite clients, Mrs. Camp, is returning to the island and wants him back to do various jobs like detail the yacht and make party preparations for the numerous parties she holds over the summer.
And yesterday, we visited Linda Upton's house and spoke with her daughter Ashley. She wants us to repaint the master bath and the other 2 bathrooms on the 2nd floor of their beautiful (and enormous) home. In Ashley's bath we proposed a little detail painting -- we're going to do 2 bold vertical stripes with a pin strip in between in all differing shades of turquoise -- just to make her bathroom extra special, and she LOVED the idea. We start that on Tuesday at $25/hr. AND, Ashley said they really want Michael back as their house cleaner and are planning to let go of their current maid just so they can have Michael back. We will be cleaning their house every Thursday at $30/hr.
So, everything seems to be working out wonderfully. You can all stop worrying about us. We will keep you posted.
Oh, and for all you moms out there... HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!!!
