Garbage Day
On the way home from Wal-mart, I was explaining to the girls what was going to happen when we got home. First I was going to put the boys in their bed and give them a bottle, then I was going to eat my lunch, and then we would do Halloween crafts. We walk in the door…I’m doing my routine. I noticed that the garbage had been taken out of the trash can and lid was laying on the floor – Ahhhh – Monday – garbage day! In Jamie’s rush to get all the kids dressed and to the sitter…he is often scrambling to get the garbage out on time too. A few minutes later…still dragging kids in the door and getting them to bed…I notice Lucy is putting a garbage bag in the trash can and putting the heavy wooden lid back on. I was AMAZED! I didn’t ask her to do it. I didn’t know she COULD do it! I never give my children – or any children – enough credit to do those kind of things! I was so proud of her. And as I praised her the look on her face was priceless.

Gee, send her over because we still can’t get Brody to figure out what to do with the trash can, and an empty trash bag laying right beside it?!: )

She is such a great helper!
