Yup! I know how that is! They descend on the house like a swarm of bees and before you know it they are gone, leaving an aftermath of sticky fingerprints and messes. I always have to go through the whole house with the vac, mop the floors, wipe down the door knobs, hallway, and hand railings. I have 11 little darlings with another on the way. Love every minute though! I always try to get the house work done before I sew. Then I don't feel so guilty for spending so much time at it.
