And I was losing. Badly.
I finally lost it after having tried to vacuum for nearly 20 minutes and only getting half of the house done. (Our house is not that big! Joshie kept unplugging the cord every other minute and Spencer kept inexplicably getting tangled in my legs.) It was time to take drastic measures:
Just kidding.Kind of.
No, I would never duct tape my children! It would leave too many marks on their chubby little ankles and wrists! (Plus, I'm pretty sure Josh is strong enough to break through something as feeble as duct tape.)
No, I took matters in a different direction:
Yep, into the crib you go, boys!
They actually loved it. Josh liked the novelty of Spencer in the crib, and Spencer has wanted to be in the crib since the day Josh was born.
I was able to vacuum the house, dust, clean a billion fingerprints off of the entertainment center glass, and even go to the bathroom in peace (*gasp*) in the 20 minutes the boys were in the crib.
So now I have a great new way to win at Vacuum Chicken. Now I just need to figure out what I'll do when they're too big for the crib...

I remember my older brother duct taped my little brother to the vacuum. It was funny. He thought it was fun. Kids are silly. Of course, he wasn't vacuuming at the time.
That's really funny. Why haven't I ever thought of that?
