My Sweet Angels

I have to brag on my two sweet girls. I was cleaning the dishes the other day, and I noticed that the girls had left the table a mess after eating. I asked them to just clean up their places at the table and nothing more. Well, I look around after finishing the dishes, and they are sweeping the entire kitchen floor as a team. Never once did I ask them to sweep the kitchen, but they did it anyway. After they finished sweeping they started scrubbing the table. Claire cleaned all of the knobs on the cabinets. Madeline cleaned all the counter tops. Well, Claire got tired of doing it and dropped out after a while. I told Madeline that was enough you don't have to do this, and her reply was, "I want to help you Momma. And I want to take care of my house. I'm proud of my house." She then proceeded to scrub the floors on her hands and knees while I'm begging her to go and play. She said, "No, I want to be your maid today." Too sweet and cute. I promise you she cleaned for an hour and a half. This will probably never happen again which is why I am documenting it now. They are both just so sweet and try their hardest to take care of their poor old momma.
