And she did!! She cleaned this house, I mean deep cleaned from 10 am to 4 pm non-stop she scrubbed all the bathroom, shower and toilets and mopped and vacuumed the entire house! She cleaned every ones rooms, bed, toys, and dusted. She picked up, wiped and scrubbed everything in sight, It was amazing! I actually felt a little guilty a few times because I sat down to watch the news once and to read a book to Saddie while she worked so hard around us. I did help keep it clean and I did all the laundry. She was so cute and so sweet! I kept debating if I should reward her. She did this this amazing service without even being asked and it was interesting because we are talking about this in class, about how not to reward your children with food, or money, or gifts, they should be rewarded with your positive attention and self reward of feeling good and knowing they did their best should be reward enough. So I really debated this with myself. So I sat her down and told her how amazingly happy I was with her and how it is such hard work and asked how she felt about her work, she said she felt really good and happy inside. I told her I was so proud of her and then let her get back to work. She beamed with pleasure and seemed to work even harder. She didn't seem to mind not getting paid, or getting a toy. But, I gave in, about 10 min later I called her up and gave her some fake nails that I had bought forever ago, she's wanted some for so long! They were just the little press on ones, and they're really short too. She was so excited! I think they only lasted a day but it was worth it! So sweet! I was so proud of her hard work!!

Wow what a sweet heart!
So the gym, I have gone at 5:15 about two or three times a week. I have seen you but I haven't done the class because I have to be back about 6:15. I might go to 24 lift (on Weds right?) anyway I have just been hitting the weights, sorry I told you I would come and then I haven't shown up. I do want to go wih you to a couple classes so I will try!
That is so cute! What a good job she does. How much does she charge?
Wow, I wish my kids would do that. I can't believe her list, it was really long and made me tired just thinking about it. Good job Mikayla!
You are so lucky!! I wish I lived by you, and I would hire her to come clean for me. I have a YW in our ward that does it, but she isn't very detail oriented. You are so blessed to have such an amazing daughter!
