Buster the Dog helps with Laundry

 Since having the baby, I have done a load of laundry almost every day, so the clothes are clean.  But then they get thrown on the bed in the guest room.  So I have about two weeks of clothes on the bed.  Or I did.  Yesterday Buster (aka E.) helped me sort the clothes.  (see his tail in the above picture)

I would say, "okay Buster get me all the towels."  "Now lets find Eli's clothes" etc, etc until all the clothes were sorted and then Buster and I took them all up stairs.  Yes all of the clothing was put in his mouth, but in the big scheme of things I figured it was fine.  And now all the clothes are upstairs.  Some of them are put away 

And who could pass up such a cute puppy?

Cleaning and Other Stuff

As a mother, I stive to make sure my boys understand a thing or two about cleaning.

Me - Noah, bring me your dirty clothes

Noah - I don't have any dirty clothes

Me  - Really? You dont?

Noah - Well, let me smell them

Mission accomplished.

Sometimes I let them relax while I pick up

Me - Noah, I am going to be cleaning the house while you and your brother watch tv

Noah - Good, Do you think after you get this place clean we could have some people over?

Me - What?

Noah - Listen mom, I know you are busy, but this place is a mess and we cant have people over until its clean

And last but not least - they help me in the kitchen

me - where is the trash can lid?

Noah - Oh that?  Well I tried to fix it, but was not able to.  How weird is that?

(please remember Noah was 3 in these stories)
