Nice try!

My house is a mess. And I don't mean a little one. I mean, it looks like a tornado blew through here. I am embarrassed to admit that there isn't a clean room in the place. So I've told my kids that we are cleaning bedrooms today and nothing else until they are done. Well, I had to take the recycling out and empty it because there was no more room for more and we were coming across lots while working. While I was out I stopped by my moms to pick up something I left there. Rachael and Allen came with me. We walked in just in time to see my dad starting to decorate a popcorn tree for us. I needed to get home to get stuff done so we were in a small hurry, but Rachael wanted to stay and help them so she came up with a great plan. She whispered in my ear. "Can I stay here and help Grami and Bopa? You can go home and come back for me later and surprise me with my room clean." Nice try little one!

Kids....they think they are so smart! :)
