How do I love my kids?

Let me count the ways...

1 roll of paper towels
1 roll of toilet paper
2 girls, 3 'accidents' (2, #1; 1, #2)
3 yogurt containers, 2 packages of cream cheese (on the stairs)
1 son upset about going to 'free lunch'
1 son mad about hearing 'no' to going outside when job/learning time wasn't done yet
1 set of sponge animals (16 in package?)
3 large puddles of water (result of sponge animals)
1 very wet bath towel, 1 random sock (self-cleaning above mentioned water)
1 pair of P.J.s that never got put away
2 girls that never got their hair combed
1 pair of pants that never got put back on (again, previously mentioned water)
60 puzzle pieces spread out over the floor (2 different puzzles)
30 books randomly 'organized' around the house
3 couch cushions returned to proper place (3 times)
2 pillows returned multiple times
3 baskets full of clean laundry strewn on the stairs
2 tinfoil dinner that left cut veggies on the floor and counter
2 pudding pies leaving signs of boys tasting their work around their mouths
3 boxes of pudding mix leaving behind some of the powdery substance on the counters/stove
1/2 package of wipes strewn around the house (because girls wanted to 'clean')
1 BBQ that yielded 6 sets of smoky clothes
1 floor that never got vacuumed
1 kitchen sink that almost got cleaned out

We had other things going on around our house yesterday too.  I just wanted to share why every time I turned around - there seemed to be something to clean up (or, someone who needed help cleaning up their attitude).

We also had 4 sets of songs, hugs, kisses, and 'I love you' at the end of the day.

So...how was your day?
