Little ones can help, too! (and we did it!)

vacuum surfer little helper little helper little helper

I recently gave K the job of vacuuming some of the rooms in our house and she seems to be enjoying her new responsibility. In fact, I think her enthusiasm has spread to her younger siblings (never a bad thing!), as you can see in the pictures above. Little L felt the need to vacuum part of the kitchen after the dogs came up for a bit. I think the dirt in the photos proves his point, need I say more?! He took out the vacuum on his own, had me plug it in and then got to work. I need all the help I can get if we are to get this place ready to sell, so I welcome the help with open arms. Now if only I could find a way to get them to want to do it more often...

In other news -
The fundraiser for my friend's daughter has come to an end. I am so very happy to know that Aayla will be able to get the help she needs. Thank you to all of you that helped out!! A note from the organizer:

"As I'm sure you're aware our fundraiser is now complete- and we exceeded our goal!!! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Hopefully Aayla will have some answers soon, and we'll post a video of her running wild and free :) We did it!!!
Much love, Emily"

Thank you, thank you! I'll be back next week after a couple of fun adventures we have planned over the next few days. See you then!

Little ones can be great helpers!!! I don't wait for them to ask for things to do. I say, "Could you help mama hang up this laundry please?" or "I really need a helper to get dinner on the table. Who wants to be my helper and wear my apron?" They rarely refuse to help me. And they do have their standard chores that they do on a daily basis like putting away the dishes I wash. Divided amongst 3 children, it takes just 5 minutes or less from their day and it makes a big difference to me.
So sweet!!
