Mama's lil' helpers

They may be boys but everyone needs to know how to sew on a button and how to cook.  As a mother, I have noticed that the children have so much more fun with things already around the house.  They would much rather spend time with me cooking, cleaning, doing chores over sitting in front of a TV.  Now, I must say that this does take a certain amount of patience on the mother's part.  Instead of just doing the job and getting it done quickly it may take twice as long.  It is important to explain how to do the task at hand and to check thier work and give them praise for the effort.  However, practice makes perfect and over time your young ones can become your little helpers.  Here are some images of the boys sewing button's on some old rag's.  Braxton did tell me as we were begining the lesson that he was excited but he would probably let his wife do the job.

Braxton continued on to help me zest  lime for our supper fish entree.
