So, The cleaning is going good. My house has been clean for over two weeks now. If you do some cleaning every day, each day will get easier. Not just because the more you clean the more you get used to cleaning, but also because you don't have to clean as hard if you keep it up every day.
What I have found is that if I am productive, Alex is more welling to be productive. Ever since I have been doing good keeping things up around here, Alex has been doing really good at picking up his things, and even my things. The other night he cleaned up his toys, with the help of Derek and I cheering him on, and then he went and put my shoes in my closet. He has been a great help.

The Freeze
We survived!
We woke up one morning to find that we had no water. Because it was so cold we decided to start our day off with a nice cup of Hot Chocolate, only to find that our gas was off. Our gas company's supply was down, so a certain part of the town had their gas turned off. Thankfully we have family in town that let us stay with them. At first the water companies pipes were frozen and they were just waiting for the pipes to unfreeze, the next day we find out our neighbors have water when we still don't. Thankfully Derek and his dad were able to unfreeze our pipe with no problems. We had water for about an hour and then our company started having problems again. So, we were once again saved by family who had water and heat. We were so blessed that we had a place to go. Others didn't have a place to go, but our ward really came together, and everyone helped everyone.
