Little Helpers

I am always enlisting my children in all the work around the house. Sometimes the things they do are little, and sometimes the things they do are big. Here are a few shots of the kids helping me around the house.



Nathan woke up from his nap, right as I was in the middle of making lunch for the other kids, so I asked Olivia if she would go in and talk to him so that he wouldn't cry, until I could finish and go get him. A few minutes later, Nathan was quiet, and this is what I found when I went in his room... All 3 kids in the crib...And everyone was happy :)



While doing laundry, I heard the buzzer on the dryer saying that the clothes were dry, so I sent Olivia in with a basket to empty them into. After a few minutes, I finished folding, and went to put wet clothes into the recently emptied dryer, and I can't see Olivia. When I called her name, her response came from inside the dryer...
When I asked her what she was doing inside the dryer, she said, "well, I can't reach all the clothes any other way!" The funny part is that she has been bringing me clothes from the dryer for months, and I never knew that was how she was doing it.



Perhaps there should have been some warning before this shot, but I thought it was HILARIOUS!! Logan has entered his "I DO IT!" stage. He doesn't want to have help for anything. So, here he is, mopping the floor with the swiffer, and as you can plainly see, he dressed himself... And was very adamant that I not help him in any way...Even to pull his underwear up over those sweet little cheeks that were hanging out. :)
