Child Labor

It's like this...Grammy babysat four days this week. We had cut, colored, pasted, sung, read, played cars, played little people, taken bike rides and walks. Grammy had just run out of ideas. We had even cooked! A new recipe - Chicken Parmagian with Zucchini Noodles. (Hey, one gets desperate as the zucchinis pile up on the counter! ) 

So I announced a work morning. Note the intense look on the faces of my little workers. It was serious business. Watering the poor hosta. Sweeping the deck. And my personal favorite, getting the little spots off Grammy's carpet. By the time we came to this task, little Abe was not quite as enthusiastic...in fact, he had become somewhat listless. Is he awake?

 
             
             
They are good little workers and had not one complaint.

So we hit the ice cream shop this afternoon. No complaints there either!
