Helping out!

I am so proud of my kids!  They are really such a good helpers!  Every day after we say our morning prayer they help me to clean up the house.  First, they make their beds, change their own clothes and start picking up toys or anything else that is not in the right place.  And then, Sarah and Joseph help me with the house chores, like laundry, dusting or putting away the dishes or taking the garbage down stairs or picking up the toys left in the bathroom.  I really think it is worth it,  to take some time each day in teaching them how to organize and clean the house, and I know you gotta be persistent in teaching them so those things will become part of their personality.  I know my kids love having the house clean and organized, and that's a huge blessing.  I keep telling them that our house should be like the Temple, so we can more easily have the Spirit with us.  I don't say that we just clean the house all day long, niether this is the most important  task to do during a day but definitely cleaning the house is a priority in our daily lives.  And I hope my kids are learning through it the value of work.

Joseph and Sarah make their own beds without any help!

So today after we were done making our beds, we started hanging up clothes.  The kids did an amazing job!  Joseph many times has helped me to fold clothes and hang up them but, today I was amazed because I didn't  know Sarah knew how to do it too. My daughter is two and a half years old!  I was so impressed with her!.  I need to give the credit to my husband, he was the one who tought her it!  It's so much easier for all of us when we work together! The work gets done and we all feel happier!  Personally my least favorite shore to do is folding clothes, I love cleaning the house, cooking, washing dishes, washing clothes; but  when it comes to folding clothes, I hate it!  But, today I enjoyed it so much because Sarah was doing it too and Joseph and we were talking and having fun together.  Oh, I love my family so much!!!

I have some pictures of the kids hanging  clothes.  The pictures show step by step how Sarah did it all by herself without anyhelp (Joseph did it too).  They pretty much did all the clothes!  Thank you so much sweeties!
