Good Helpers

So my kids were, well, for lack of a better word, ROTTEN today! We are getting ready to go out of town, and they seem to know when you are trying to get stuff done, and then make it hard for you. Well, today was one of those days...So after dinner I asked if they could just rinse the dishes off for me while I give Elsie a bath. When I came down I was pleasantly surprised to find Cassi on the table, washing it...and Madi under the table, picking up the food that Elsie dropped, and mopping the rest of the floor. They had rinsed the dishes like I asked...and then went beyond and tried to have the whole kitchen clean before I got back downstairs with Elsie. Good work girls! Thanks for knowing when Mom just can't handle anymore naughtiness!!!


And sweet Elsie was, believe it or not, ROTTEN, today too! But in her defense, she is cutting teeth!

I am glad that they finally gave up torturing you and decided to be good! Ü I can't wait to see you in a few days!!! Tell the girls they are more than welcome to come and clean my house once you guys get here!

I am sorry my girls came to play... I should have taken your kids for those few hours...
Have a fun and safe trip.

Wow, what good kids! Samantha surprises me sometimes and cleans up great. Too bad I can't say the same for Alex!

Uhm, is Cassi shirtless? Ü

It is always a relief when kids do pleasant surprises like that!

I love that you take cute pics of them just cleaning! I also take so many pics! This blogging stuff is so addicting, especially knowing it's going to be a book!
