A Clean Room

I notice that I have put any updated pictures of the girls on here…Maybe due to the fact that I have two full memory cards I keep forgetting to download onto my computer.
Last night would have been a great picture opportunity…Izabelle and Grace were actually playing really good. Izabelle kept following Grace around and copying her, so when Grace laid down Izabelle will follow suit, if Grace danced around, Izabelle would dance. It was funny to watch.
Last night was their bath night (I don’t give them a bath every night, but I do give one every other because their skin gets so dry, for those that want to know). Izabelle loves her baths, well BUBBLES as she would say. Then it was Grace’s turn (with no fighting I might add).
After their baths, Matt and I were doing laundry, dishes, and just picking up the living room before bedtime. When we both realized it was very quiet. Izabelle was helping us, so where was Grace? Well, she was in her room. Playing, maybe??? Well, Matt went in to check on her and SURPRISE…she was cleaning her room??? Since Matt walked in before she revealed her surprise, she wanted to surprise me, so I had to wait until she was ready to show off her room (she even locked the door so I wouldn’t come in). So, when she was ready, she got me and I had to close my eyes. When we got to her room, she told me to open my eyes. WOW!!! It was clean. Not just picking toys off the floor, but cleaning her dresser off, picking all the toys off the floor and putting them in there rightful place. Here room was CLEAN… (Wish I had took some pictures, maybe tonight, if the room is still clean)
The look on her face was priceless…she was so proud of herself…I was proud for her. She did it all by herself, no one told her that she needed to clean her room.
So, she received a reward to put in her piggy bank and GREAT BIG HUGS for her job well done.
Then we got Izabelle off to bed, read some Bible stories, said our prayers, and were off to bed. It was just one of those nights that everything fit into its rightful place, no tugging or pulling from anyone…I was grateful to have such a peaceful night with the family (I am grateful for every night, but those that have no melt downs seem to be the icing on the cake, if you know what I mean).

Until Next Time…

God Bless
