Mama's Helper

Yesterday after all of the silly string madness went down, Alaina played around with the umbrella. It wasn't raining and it was far too big for her, but in the end no harm, no foul. She had fun and it amused her greatly, so we let her go for it. After she finished with the umbrella she helped me sweep up all of the silly string. She loves to sweep and help me clean. When we were inside, she saw me cooking and wanted to help so she sat on the counter and mashed the potatoes for dinner.


"I've got it!!"
"Look at these muscles!"
"Whew! That is heavy!"
...It works better if the broom is on the ground!!
My helper! She is even wearing her apron! Too cute!
