The Clean Room Fairy

This last week I got a call from a fairly new fairy. Her name is the "Clean Room Fairy" and her job is to reward kids for having a clean room. Much like the tooth fairy, she does her job without ever being seen.
I had cleaned the girls bedroom on Friday and somehow the clean room fairy heard about this momentous occasion. She called me telling me that if the girls will keep their bedroom clean then she would reward them with a random treat or surprise. The thing is that they will never know when she might come to check on their room. She may come every day or every other day or even once a week but you never know when she might show up. I told the girls about my phone call and they were very excited. On Saturday morning they woke up and hurried in to make their beds and make sure that everything was in its place. About half way through the day Rylie went in and found a halloween prize on her bed. It was a bag of M & M's with a halloween pencil.

The clean room fairy didn't come yesterday , Saige says its because she doesn't work on Sunday, but I love to hear the girls encourage each other to clean up and make sure their beds are made. They are so excited about this new fairy and honestly...SO AM I!

Maybe next time she comes I will remember to take a picture of the girls with their prize.
