My Little Helper………

ByKaren
Holly loves to help mommy around the house. She actually wanted to wash dishes when she saw me doing it the other day. I promised her she could someday and intend to keep that promise! Her thing lately is every night she wants to set the dinner table, so I let her. I give her one thing at a time except for glasses and knives. She puts each plate where they belong, one for daddy, one for mommy and one for Holly. Then we move onto forks, napkins, plastic cups and then whatever extra things need to go on the table for that nights dinner. She loves doing this and she does a great job. The other night I took a picture of her table after she set it. Not bad for a 2 year old.

When I fold laundry she takes each piece out of the laundry basket for me to fold. When we get her dressed, she pulls out a clean undershirt and socks and always gathers what we need to change her diaper. When she takes a bath she gets herself a towel and then puts everything out we need to dry her off including her lotion and hairbrush. When it’s time to put on her Pajama’s she gets out her PJ’s, a night diaper, and a clean undershirt when needed and then she always puts her dirty cloths in the hamper. If Steve leaves his socks hanging around when he takes them off she even puts those in mommy and daddy’s laundry basket. When we come back from the grocery store, I’ll put the bags on the floor and she will unload the items and put them on the counter for me to put away. She’s always there to lend me a hand in getting things done, I think it’s so cute! I think when her baby sister arrives, she will help me with her too. I’m hoping that if I let her help with simple things with the baby, that she will like her and not want her to leave. We shall see.

But in the meantime, when she wants to help, I let her. It’s nice to get a hand with things once in a while, especially being 7 months pregnant but feeling like I’m 9 months pregnant. I always wanted a little helper and it seems like I have one. She’s my little buddy!

The other day I was sitting on the couch and Holly came up to me with her baby doll’s bottle and put it to my belly and said she was feeding baby sister. Well I thought that was the cutest thing. Then she say a picture of a sleeping baby on a gift bag I have and she said to me “Mommy shhhhh, baby sister is sleeping”. I’m starting to think she might have a slight idea what a “baby sister” is and I really hope she’s happy when she meets her. Until then she can continue to “feed” my belly and her baby sister. A 2 year old is so much fun!

My latest digi layouts…

I’m LOVIN the digital scrappin world so much. I never thought I’d enjoy it, but once you have a better idea of how to do it, it’s really easy and fun!! Here are my latest creations I made over the last 2 days. I guess purple was the theme. LOL I didn’t even realize that until just now.

The Wedding…..

ByKaren

Jodi and David spent a few days with us while Steve was on his trip. We had a really nice time and the kids were really excited to see each other. David and Holly decided that they were going to get married and they did. They are now friends forever. It was cute. Notice Holly had on her high heals and Jodi did her hair. We had a ‘fake’ ceremony and everything. The shared a hug, not a kiss. We have many years before the kisses start, I hope! They were just too cute and had a lot of fun at the ‘wedding’.

Pumpkin Patch…

ByKaren

This past weekend we took Holly to the pumpkin patch. She had so much fun there last year, we know she’d enjoy it even more this year, and she did! She tried picking up all the pumpkins but most were too heavy. She kept running from pumpkin to pumpkin saying “help me, help me” because she was desperate to pick them up. It was so cute. Here are some pictures…. The Pumpkin Patch Holly and Daddy The Pumpkins And finally, the two pumpkins she got to take home…..

You’ve been caught!

ByKaren

We don’t have anymore gates up, except for the top of the stairs. Now Allison can get into every room which isn’t really a problem EXCEPT the one fact of she LOVES to play with all the hair pieces and everything in the bottom draws of the bathroom sink (no cleaning stuff there). She takes everything out and lines it up, then puts it back. She thinks I don’t know she’s doing it but mommy always knows. This happens almost every week when Holly’s in school and mommy’s doing something. The good thing is most of the time she will clean it up too, most of the the time. 🙂

Cousins

ByKaren

It’s been a while since we’ve had a picture of the four cousins so we decided to take on at Allison’s Birthday Party. Of course it’s impossible to get them all to smile perfectly at the same time. But they are kids and they are cute! Allison – 3 years oldHolly – 5 years oldKristopher – 8 years oldJonathan – 12 years old

Summertime…

ByKaren

I love the summer, but not the heat. We defiently do so much more in the summer than any other time of year. Things we LOVE about summer: 1. POOL When we were looking for a house a pool was NOT a priority and when we found one with it, we figured it was a great bonus. We had no idea how awesome it would be to have a pool. We have a huge yard so right after Steve mows the lawn (on his riding mower) he jumps right into the pool to cool off. Makes mowing more fun. The first summer here we knew the pool was worth it and last year was even better because Holly LOVED the water. I’m hoping she enjoys…
