An anonymous caller had notified the sheriff's office Thursday morning that the sisters had been knocking doors in the Intercession City community near the Osceola-Polk county line asking for toys.
The girls, ages 7 and 9 years old, told deputies: "We are out selling toys to help mommy stay in the house."
Neither knew their street address but led deputies to their home about a half mile away, records show.
When deputies took them there around 11 a.m., their mom, April Emery, was asleep in bed.
"Oh. Well they should know better, it's their job to wake me up in the morning to get ready for school," Emery told deputies.

The doors of the home were wide open and Emery told deputies she had no idea where the girls were.
I suppose waking up first , making breakfast for the children , and getting the children off to school would be spoiling them .
