Then my son, his wife and 4 grandchildren (but grandchildren can do no wrong!) stayed with us for 4 months after their house sold and they didn't yet have one to move in to.

I know what you mean though. I tell you this, I used to say when my babies were young that my floors were clean enough to eat off of them...and I really felt they were nearly germ free. I tried so hard to keep a clean house for them to grow up in.
