Let's party, without the party

What’s a work party? It’s a cleaning party without the party bit, as Pam told Maddison (who decided to go swimming instead, who can blame her). That left Pat, Prudy, Regan, Steve, Maureen, Teddy, Pam, Nick W, Nick and me in the manse and schoolroom to get a substantial amount of work done. Pat and Prudy tackled the upstairs windows by removing the sash windows for easy washing, Regan washed the downstairs windows; Pam and Nick W did the kitchen from top to toe; Steve and Maureen started assembling the kitchenette in the schoolroom, and Teddy and Nick shampooed carpets. I assigned myself the polishing of the wooden guest room floor and cleaning of that room. We also washed and ironed curtains and bedding and did other general cleaning. All in all, an excellent effort – thanks to all! Caleb and Aaron were present but there were not many smallish jobs that they could get stuck in to, so they wandered around or read books.
Nick was trying out some different colour feature on his camera last night, and I was the unfortunate model - so here is my brown hair for those of you who have asked!

Ok - it does not look bad (just different than what I am use to) and it is not really brown! Lets call it dark blond instead.

Mom's exactly right.
Your hair looks just fine :)
