Little Workers!

The kids went down to my parents house today so I could get groceries, have my haircut, and then come home to clean my house top to bottom. So the kids had a grand ole time with my mom. They had requested last time they were at my parents' house that they wanted to make brownies and chocolate chip cookies! So mom bought the box mix for brownies and then the already made cookie dough! The kids loved getting to do that and we now have the labor of their work at our house! Which comes in pretty handy since the Fadden Family will be arriving tomorrow evening!

Anyways, onto the reason for this post. My mom "hired" the kids to help her clean her white vinyl fence. Jaycee called the dirt spots "freckles". Once she began washing and saw that the "freckles" were coming off, Jaycee told my mom this really works, its amazing, Mam Mam. Then Jaycee asked my mom what she put in the water to make it do that. My mom kept her composure and answered just soap, Jaycee. Jaycee continued on about how I had used some sort of soap on her hands before and it worked like magic. Seriously, she is 4 years old?! Jaycee continued working and scrubbing away on the fence. In a little bit Jaycee looked at my mom and said you know how much I like doing this (washing the fence), my mom said no how much? Jaycee's reply "100%"!!! HA!HA!

Jackson did well, too! He obviously enjoyed getting to be in charge of the water hose for awhile. Which of course, they all got a little soaked along the way! They both earned $2 for their help in making Mam Mam's fences nice and clean!

They ALL had a fabulous day together! I am so thankful for my mom's help in entertaining the kids for me! Now, we are ready for the Fadden Family to arrive!!!
