I clean throughout the day too when I can. I try to have the house clean for when parents come it don't look terrible. We have our outside play before pick-up so I clean up before we go outside. If the weather is bad we do craft time the last 45-hour before pick up so I clean while they wrap up craft time. When they are gone I just have the craft to clean up I only do part-time right now so I try to make my own supper in the slow cooker on those days.
