Sunday - November 3, 2013
I love having church start later in the day. That means we get an extra sleep in day. Parker and Brinley never want to wake up on school mornings, but when they know they can sleep in, they almost always wake up early. So, Parker and Brinley woke up a lot earlier than me today. They came downstairs and fixed themselves some bowls of cereals. When they finished eating, they had a brilliant idea. They decided that they would surprise me by mopping the floor. They filled two buckets with soapy water, then they each got out a handful of dish rags. They neatly laid one rag on the floor to set their buckets on, then they stacked the other ones in a nice pile next to their buckets.
This is what I woke up to:
They got bored of this pretty quickly, so they pretty much only cleaned under the table. Later that day, Parker came back in the kitchen and set things up, so he could clean a little more.
At dinner time, Brinley came in the kitchen really excited about setting the table for dinner for us. We didn't have a big fancy feast, but I always think it is so fun when the kids set the table. I love to see the fun ideas they come up with. This time Brinley wrapped a napkin around some of the silverware. I asked the kids if they wanted to learn the proper way to set the table, but none of them were interested. They like to have the freedom to be creative and do it however they like.
