The Family that Works together... Stays together!

We have had the opportunity to be able to work together as a family this Summer. Its has been a blast and a life teaching experience for our girls...and as parents too. Our girls wanted to make money somehow and have asked for money to do chores around the house before, but I'm totally against paying them to do work around the house. They should be helping because they love their home and want to keep it nice and clean so the spirit, friends and ourself stay happy and comfy here. Kyle and me decided that we were not gonna pay them to do chores at all!... first because we don't have the money to do so and second because they should do it no matter what anyways. We wanted, as parents, to teach them the worth of work and money though but we never knew or had " the how" to do it.
Kyle came to me, one day at the beginning of this summer, asking me if I knew a friend in need who would like to work cleaning his office...weeeell! I thought...We are in need!...me and the girls got the whole summer doing nothing and as a family we needed the money anyways. Kyle told his boss that we were going to take the job. We talked to the girls and they loved the idea of working together and finally getting payed for it!. The job is super easy!. We go just on Saturdays in the morning, each one of us has an assignment... some dusting, vacuuming , garbage bags,
and filling up the soaps bottles and supplying the bathroom with more toilet paper some light bathroom cleaning and we are done!..its just takes us 45 minutes to 1 hour to be done...and as you know "Latinas" can't do the cleaning without music!...so we take the radio to listen and dance once in awhile during the cleaning time!. We really enjoy this time together even though it is work but just to be able to do it together and be payed for it, it makes it fun!.
The girls have been able to pay their tithing for the first time and buy whatever they want with their money. It has been a blessing for us in this time of need to have an extra income. We know our Heavenly Father is watching over us and helping us to keep going. It's been hard at times but we have never felt alone. We truly feel His love and caring for us every single day!. We are so thankful for all the blessing we have specially for our lovely and sweet daughters. We love them and without them we wouldn't be the family we are!
