Children and Chores!

    My children always keep me smiling and laughing even when we are doing chores.  My almost 18 month old is always ready and willing to help.... When I sweep, he wants to take the broom and sweep too. When I do laundry, he tries his best to pick up the heavy wet clothes I hand him, then hurl them into the dryer. Its so funny to hear him grunt as he willingly struggles. Just last night when his daddy came home and changed out of his work clothes, lil Grant picked them off the floor and toted them to the laundry room. When I load or unload the dish washer, he is right there with me, with those curious lil hands. 

    Now vacuuming... that is a different story. Grant loves the vacuum cleaner, when its off.!!! LOL  He is constantly dragging it out and trying, with all the strength he can muster, to push it around the house. We have a Kerby so its quite heavy. When turned on it  has a self propelled motor so its not so bad, but off.... shew, its a workout. I bet it weighs near 25lbs.  My older ones love when I vacuum because Grant clings to them like white on rice. They think its cool to be his protector and they love his sweet embrace.

Here are a few cute pictures of  Gavin  and Grant.

I cant leave without showing you some of the messes that Grant likes to make as well... 

Never a dull moment with lil bundles of joy around.... 

"Children are a heritage from the LORD,
   offspring a reward from him.
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
   are children born in one’s youth.
 Blessed is the man
   whose quiver is full of them. "

Blessing,
