Actually, the washing machine is on pretty much 7 days a week anyway. But you're right about the floor... I keep trying to make them take their shoes off at the door, which helps.
But the worst part is having three boys cooped up for days on end in a small house. (And it's hard on them not being able to get out and run freely.) Taking them places where they can run around indoors tends to be either expensive (Kidspark -- but then I get to leave and do something else) or terribly hard on the nerves (the Home of the Mutant Rodent which I refuse to name). At least now they are all old enough to be in school for a full day. And thank goodness for ice skating.
