Another cute Angela story

So... last night we sent the kids upstairs to clean up the toy room. They were supposed to clean for a set amount of time, and then when the timer was done, they would be done and that would be good.

Well of course that was the ideal... the realistic thing that happenened was they went upstairs and got distracted and started playing and then started fighting and wound up not cleaning up anything. I then told them they had a second chance if they wanted birthday cake for a dessert they needed to go up there and I'd better hear some cleaning going on...

Alex went up and cleaned up a few things, Ashley and Alyssa didn't really clean anything up, so then when it was time to get pj's on... Alex got cake and the girls didn't (they actually had gotten a piece earlier in the day already)

So... where's the cute Angela story in this?

We got the kids all ready for bed, had family prayer and scripture stories. Then I went into the little girls room with them and was trying to get them go to go sleep. I'm like a ping pong ball going from one girl to the other and taking turns laying down with them while they settle down and go to sleep. Alyssa was thirsty and hopped up to get a drink of water, then I laid down with Angela... then Alyssa turned the drink of water into a piece of bread as well... and Angela decided she was thirsty and went out to the kitchen too.

Rich was in the kitchen with them and she realized she didn't get cake so she told him "I didn't have cake" and he told her "you didn't clean up". Then she started walking over to the stairs. He asked her where she was going, and she said "to clean up".

So she went upstairs and with Daddy's help she cleaned up the toy room. She is a great cleaner upper, and is the only child that willingly cleans up.

Then she came downstairs and was upset that I was laying down with Alyssa, and came and laid down with me on her bed. As she was snuggling in and going to sleep she kept saying "I didn't get my cake" "I didn't get my cake" she was half asleep though so I wasn't going to wake her up more by offering to get her cake then... but today she'll get her cake... :)
