So I said I was going to get stuck into the kitchen today because I wanted to participate in Katie’s Ultimate Fall Challenge. I kinda cheated a bit and did the fridge and freezer last night while the kids were watching a movie. I thought I was onto a good start but unbeknown to me, whoever’s turn it was to clear the dinner dishes and stack them in the dishwasher did not do it so I was nicely greeted with this, this morning:

Yeah, nice, I know. Thank, kiddos! So after tidying that all up, Mads and I started on the real job – cleaning out the cupboards. (Mads was helping me because she wants to get mobile phone credit this week…LOL)

I’m not showing you the inside of the cupboards because they are not completely finished yet but on the outside, it looks ok ;P

Ideally, the dish rack lives in one of the cupboards but I forgot to dry the stuff and put it away before I took the photo.

I swapped the microwave and kettle over, moving all the cups and coffee/tea items to the cupboard above the kettle. There’s more room there to make cuppas :)

For those of you that were wondering how I would manage to complete the list with 5 kids, it’s really not that difficult (granted I have older ones that can keep the younger ones occupied) but today William, Tiesha and Giorgia were out socialising, and Bill was at work so it was just me, Mads and Annabelle. Annabelle was TRYING to help by pulling the piles of stuff into piles of her own but in the end, we managed to get it all done…LOL

Mind you, it’s time to start cooking dinner so my nice, clean kitchen is going to get all messy again :( Never ends, does it?!
