Some days, when my kids are misbehaving, (to use the words of my best friend Angela) they are "free to a good home." So far, I have not been able to find any takers.
Last week, something wonderful happened. Every morning before Violet and I got out of bed, Jonah and Sadie, being the early-risers that they are, cleaned the entire house to surprise me! I'm not kidding.
They loaded and unloaded the dishwasher, cleaned up all of Violet's toys, made their beds and one day Jonah even vacuumed! He took the laundry downstairs to the laundry room too. He told me that he was going to try to wash it but didn't know how. How sweet is that?
At first, I must admit, I was a little suspicious. I thought why are they doing this? What is it that they are trying to get out of me? But they genuinely did it because they wanted to surprise me and they thought it would make me happy. They were right!
They are such good kids when they are not trying to kill each other. Most of the time they are really so sweet and thoughtful. I am such a lucky mom. At least for today I am going to keep them – so if you're thinking you might like to take them off my hands, they are NOT free to a good home. Check back tomorrow. ;-)
