Cleaning helper

Last night I went out for some yummy food with friends. I didn't get home very late, but by the time I actually made it up the stairs towards my bed it was around 10:30pm. As I climbed the stairs, I knew that something was amiss....Sure enough, the girls' bathroom light was on. Chris had been home the whole time, but hadn't heard a thing. I was hoping it was because Claire had needed to use the bathroom. Unfortunately, that wasn't what was happening. There on her hands and knees was Grace. She was scrubbing EVERYTHING in the bathroom with baby wipes. On the floor next to her were "used" wipes in a giant pile. It looked like hundreds and hundreds of wipes, but since there are only 100 in a package, it must have been around 50. There were suds everywhere. The toilet seat had water and bubbles all over it. She was using shampoo to clean with. I'm not sure what I was the most surprised about, the fact that she was making a giant mess or that she didn't seem tired at all. I couldn't help but laugh after I sternly sent her back to bed. She has always been my little cleaning helper. She loves to wipe down the table after we eat and vacuum alongside me. Next time hopefully, it will be supervised cleaning! :)

HILARIOUS! I could just picture it all. I'm sure the room smelled nice and fresh.
