I remember when our oldest dd used to LOVE to clean the bathroom... of course that was when it didn't involve cleaning the toilets... it IS fun to clean the mirrors and rearrange the things on the countertop! Now she's older and ALL of the bathroom must be cleaned. TOO CUTE!

I love seeing the kids work together. Yes, the "helping" as in "let's make a fort of gargantuan proportions and use every single blanket, pillow and chair in the house, not to mention all the heavy books to hold the blankets (precariously) in place" is NOT so helpful. Not that I know anything about that kind of playing. Of course, in OUR house the darling children ALWAYS pick up after themselves. They would never, say, leave the aforementioned fort in the middle of the living room for days on end until someone (let's call her MOM) goes crazy and loses all sense of balance and cheerfulness and rated G mouth (just kidding about that last one). Heh, heh. How sweet, Posie! I love seeing the kids work together.

That kind of helping is sweet; the other kind of "helping" - "let me help you make a bigger mess" is less desirable....

Last week the two of them cleaned out the van, pretty much by themselves (Joshua went in and did a little 'supervising'). They each took a paper bag and picked up trash and brought in all the misc. junk that had been piling up. So nice to have another pair of helpers on hand.

What a sweet granddaughter to be hepling Mommy with cleaning - and especially the bathroom. Glad you got some pictures Kathy. The day may come when Sarah will need to be reminded of her helpful spirit when she was 4. But for now, enjoy it while you can. And, hopefully, that spirit of helpfulness will persist throughout Sarah's lifetime. I love that "helpful little girl. Grandpa Hurrah for Sarah.

It's a well-known phenomena. Hard to make yourself keep up with the lesson DAILY. I don't know that I've EVER done it. I should keep my mouth shut as my BSF leader might be reading this blog. Forget I ever said anything. Back to your regular programming. Posie–ah, the great BSF procrastination. It’s a well-known phenomena. Hard to make yourself keep up with the lesson DAILY.

Daniel routinely stays up late by being willing to 'help out' in the kitchen, and David has occasionally avoided his bedtime by doing a little 'picking up' around the house. So, it is fitting that Sarah would carry on the tradition -- funny that I thought she was up to some naughty mischief, in the bathroom with the door closed for so long. She is a sweet girl with a kind and generous heart. We’ve always had trouble with bedtimes, and the kids have learned how to work the system.

I had just come home from our monthly Ladies Night Out (it was dinner and craft night at someone's home) and NONE of the 3 ladies who do BSF had done their lessons!! They were all moaning & laughing over the fact that it was 10:30 p.m. and no one had done their lesson yet! Are we women, procrastinators or what?? ha! How funny that you were doing BSF..
