there might be hope

Every once in a while something happens to make me think there might be hope. Like the other day, when the kids got up while I was in the shower and made their beds without having to be reminded. I walked into their room to tie back the curtains for the day and was met by tidy beds. I just about fainted with surprise. Just a few weeks ago, Lauren asked if she could vacuum for me (yes, you read that right... she asked) Of course, I let her try and it turned out she did a fantastic job. She may now regret that request, because it has since become one of her regular chores. It helps me out tremendously and she does it cheerfully, too.

Since that day the beds haven't been made without a reminder... but I'm hoping for a repeat performance in the future!
