My Big Helper

Things have been pretty busy for me this week. As I mentioned on Monday, I am trying to make an effort to be on the computer a little less and focus on getting all of this week's hat orders complete. Yesterday I spent a full day working on hats after the girls and I made a run to Target to get some necessities. While we were there, I picked up a copy of The Shack, the book that my friend Kristin just finished reading and loved. I will let you know what I thought of it when I finish it, but I will warn you, it may take a while considering that I haven't had a ton of time to just sit down and read! Just yesterday, I was able to complete seven hats. That might not seem like a lot, but for me that was great considering how many interruptions I get during the day. It was tough to stay focused and resist the urge to blog as much as I wanted to.

Anyhow, yesterday in the morning after breakfast, I went to check my emails. I had left Alyssa in the living room watching Handy Manny while I went to my bedroom just a little ways down the hall. I know, I know. I am probably the last one on Earth without a laptop, but that's another issue altogether. Anyways, after I had been on the computer a few minutes, it was getting a little quiet, so I went out to make sure everything was okay. This is what I found...



My big girl was folding towels while watching T.V.!!! Just last week we were discussing the definition of the word "multi-tasking." I guess she decided to put that word into action because I kid you not...she took the initiative to fold the towels that she saw sitting on the couch that needed to be folded and she was watching her show at the same time. I was so proud!!! By the way, don't you just love the way Alyssa's hair looks in this picture? This is a totally typical first thing in the morning look for her, by the way. Both her and I have been cursed with crazy, thick hair!

Here's a close-up of the pile of towels she had already folded when I found her. Not too bad for a three year old!!!

Well, I'd better get going. The girls are waking up (they slept in a little this morning...Thank You Lord), so it's time to get going on breakfast. Hope everyone has a great Wednesday. It's already the middle of the week, and Easter is coming up so fast. We're getting excited!
