When we're helping we're HAPPY.....

"To begin, put a smile on your face and start singing your favorite song....
....concentration is KEY,
....then you move the sponge in an up and down motion, careful not to scrub too hard!
Now continue until the job is finished, and....
WAAALAAA!! A clean wall and SMILING face! (take if from me, moms LOVE this!!)

I spent part of the day in Idaho Falls making my Sams Club and Walmart trip so when I got home I had tons of putting away to do. Luke seemed to be happy doing his own thing. He found a couple of sponges and was helping by cleaning the walls. Isn't that great! I should have gotten them wet so he really could clean them, they obviously need it. Luke is turning into quite the little boy, he is at that stage where he tries to copy the things that others do. It makes us laugh.

Aw, that's so cute! Do you think it's instinctual? Simon will wipe the floor with a towel and I don't really think he's seen me do that often . . .

Your kids look great! Luke looks like such a happy kid, I love it!

What a helpful little guy! For some reason, I always imagine him with a semi-permanent grin on his face--he seems like such a happy kid. Once again, I am coveting your kitchen...

He is adorable! I love that smile! Isn't it great when they are starting to get to the point where they can entertain themselves, and better yet for you that he wanted to help clean to entertain himself.
