The Thinking Table

Ok....So I try not to brag to much on my blog, but use it more as another way to keep record of pictures and stories that I know we will cherish as a family. But I just have to brag this time. The girls were so cute the other day. I try to keep an organized and clean house. My kids have been really interested in doing chores lately even though they are not that old, but they learn so much at a young age. That has been proven. We talk about how everyone has to do their share, why dad goes to work, and how we can serve each other.

The girls were on the biggest high ever. They have always been willing to do things here and there around the house, but they just went overboard yesterday. They folded the clothes that were on my bed, put them away, organized my shoes in my closet and their's, organized all of their toys, cleaned up their room, cleaned the bathroom, and kept going back to their "thinking table" to "think of other things they could do"

The thinking table....the thinking table is their toy table that they decided they would all sit around and decide what they would do next. They would organize their shoes and then run back to their "thinking table" and then come up with the next thing. They set the table for dinner, colored David and me a picture, put Lacey's pajamas on her....

Then this morning it continued with the thinking table. They picked up the living room, folded more laundry (since there is never a day without laundry). David and I just looked at each other and wondered how long this would last, but for now it is awesome. This is the bonus of having all GIRLS! If we had boys they would have been using the thinking table as a diving board. I JUST LOVE IT!!!! I also love that they are picky when it comes to making sure that things are in the right place...like when they organize their toys..."everything has a label." So yes I guess it is paying off.
