My Sweet Cleaning Crew
Mopping the kitchen floor!
Every day I am reminded of how blessed I am. The other day one of the kids made a mess on the floor and I asked them to vacuum it up. The next thing I knew both girls were vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, and cleaning the house. They started with cleaning up their little mess, but continued on into the kitchen sweeping and mopping the floor. Next they went on to clean the bathrooms.
I cannot tell you how it makes my heart happy to see the kids willingly cleaning up not only their mess, but cleaning up other areas of the house. While this happens more often now that they are getting older it is not always the case. Sometimes when I ask them to pick up an item that they got out or clean up a mess they made you would think I asked them to move Mt. Everest with all the grumbling…..
When they do get into the cleaning zone it is amazing how much they can accomplish in just an hour or two. Thankful for my sweet cleaning crew and their willingness to pitch in to keep the house in a more livable condition. My husband is wonderful about pitching in to cook, clean, or fix items around the house too. I am blessed!
Scrubbing the floor!
Yes, That’s What My Kids Do During Their Free Time!
I love my kids! Sometimes the activities they do during their “free time” make me smile. The other day as I was walking through the dining room the dry erase board caught my attention. During their free time earlier that day they decided to work on some fun math skills. They enjoy pretending to teach school to their sibling or stuffed animals.
The best part of this play time is it provides additional learning opportunities for the kids. They get a chance to practice more of their skills therefore helping them solidify the multiplication facts more clearly. While they do not do this every time they have free time it is a fairly common occurrence at our house. I am thankful for kids who love to learn. Hope they continue to foster that love of learning for their entire life.
Creative Kids: Random Notes of Love
Cute little surprise note!
On one of our trips this year the girls hid a note in my backpack. I love finding fun notes from my girls. So who do you think put this note in my bag? If you guessed Brina you are correct! Jake got one in his backpack from Karlie. It’s the little stuff like this that makes me so thankful for my sweet girls!
