I’ve been MIA for a few days.  We’ve been taking care of the house and grounds as is inevitable for all homeowners.  We’re staining our fence, powerwashing the outside and patio, organizing our garage, painting and a few minor miscellaneous stuff.  Our little girl is so helpful.  She noticed me staining the fence and helped herself to a new paint brush and brushed along side me.  She also likes to help water the lawn and tomatoe plants.  I can’t describe or say enough about how cute she is.  Children really are a lot of fun.  She also likes to help me clean my floors.  I like to disenfect my floors every week, and I don’t use a mop.  It cleans up better with a little elbow grease.  Anyway, she gets down on the floor with me, on her hands and knees and scrubs.  Oh, and when I vacuum she follows me holding the cord, being careful not to tangle it.  I love my helpy helperton.
