stepping up

I gotta brag on these kids a minute.

Yesterday was a(nother) full day.

Dinner was late,

as it always is on Tuesdays and Thursdays

due to TaeKwanDo,

so it was past 8 when we finished eating.

Tyler, Brandon, and I needed to work on the back porch after dinner

so I told the kids to clean up the kitchen,

including washing the dishes 

(for some reason, that has to be specified)

and then get to bed.

Lily came out about a half hour later and said,

"We've cleaned the kitchen, 

and I know we're supposed to be going to bed now,

but I just wanted to check and see

if you wanted us to do anything with laundry first."

I have been telling them they have got to step up;

if Mom is out working on the house,

I simply can't do everything inside

that I normally do.

I guess it's finally sinking in.

Momma loves you all.

Thanks for stepping up.
