Laundry Fun

"Mom--where me?" (Where am I?)


"I hidin"


All done.

Good Help is Hard to Find

Lately my children seem to complain about every.single.thing I ask them to do around the house--even schoolwork, which they know is non-negotiable. It makes me cranky.

But today...today while the Dad and the three older ones were away, I began to empty the dishwasher. Who toddled up, unasked and eager to help?

Liam!

He grabbed the tableware basket full of clean (non-sharp) utensils and made his way to the cutlery drawer. Without complaining.

Perhaps there is hope for the rest of them.

His handiwork leaves a bit to be desired, but I so appreciate his helpful spirit!

Two Years

Liam is two! He is stringing together words now. My favorite Liam-phrase is, "Thank you much". He is still very, very stingy with kisses! He gives a lot of hugs though :)

His birthday celebration happened in the morning, since the girls had a dance competition that day. We started with the official height-measurement by Daddy.


Then came the presents. Only two this year--deprived child!


...and then we sang and ate cake!


Happy Birthday, Cutie-Pie :)
