My Little Helper ... or something like that

Some little kiddos like to help their Mommies by cleaning, sweeping, folding laundry, putting things away ... well not my little boy! He thrives on un-doing all of those things ... making messes, stepping IN the pile of swept dirt/dust, un-folding laundry, taking things out, putting things where they don't belong ... you get the idea. Over the past week Justin has given me plenty of times to laugh (only by God's grace!), and then try to teach him what he could do differently at times to really be my helper (I don't think he's getting it!).

Here is the outcome of Justin getting into the coloring cabinet ... I don't think he really had any intention of actually coloring on all that paper (he choose the wall instead ... those magic erasers sure have come in handy around here).



So much for my folded wash ... his way of un-folding is so much quicker than my way of folding ... go figure. I had it neatly stacked in the basket ready to distribute to each room ... but I left it in the basket a few minutes too long obviously (all he wanted to do was play with the empty basket).














Good thing this isn't a longaberger basket! After emptying all of his books out of the basket he decided to try and take it apart ... thankfully I found him before he did too much damage to it.




And here we have another meal with Justin in the Herr household (he just can't seem to not make a mess).















How can you not laugh at the little guy when he gives you this silly, mischievous grin whenever he is caught in the act!



Well, Hailey just came up and told me that Justin dropped a jar of spaghetti sauce that he took off of my shelf downstairs ... after scoping out the damage, I have a nice mess of spaghetti sauce and glass to go clean up. Thankfully both Hailey and Justin are ok.
