The Bunny Hop...In Reverse

I feel like every time I try to clean, I'm doing the Bunny Hop, in reverse. One step forward, three steps back. It took me a whole hour just to clean the Legos, papers scraps, and wrappers off of the floor in the living room, and then run the vacuum cleaner just in the area around the coffee table and couch. I never got to clean off the top of the coffee table, or the couch. Ugh. But at least one small section of the floor is clean. Now the test is: can the kids keep it that way? Next time I'll tackle the books and toys...
