the help (Luke and Mom)

Everyone was a little squirrel-y yesterday afternoon.  Easily frustrated, snappy voices, quick to fuss.   Hours like those exhaust me.

But we made it through.  Dinner on the table, eaten, cleaned up, boys through the bath, and a few chapters of Narnia.  Tomorrow is a new day.

In the chaos I decided to snap some photos.  Maybe to distract me from the insanity :)

Luke is a professional table-setter..... it's probably his favorite way to help.  He specializes in thorough-ness :)  


My mom is even more helpful (imagine!).  She arrived anxious to help out in the kitchen.  No problemo :)


One other nice thing about Grandmama in town - extra capacity to do more complicated crafting.  They worked on this tie-dye scarf and I think it turned out really well!


Lydia helping with the dinner rolls.  She arranged the serving platter herself :)


And John Paul.  Poor guy.  No energy.  ha!


More coloring (and Dad in the background, working with his computer). 


Surely today is gonna be a better one, right?

Love all the wonderful looking smiles, and love the grumpy faces too, like the next post picture. Love you all, and sure do miss being with you guys.
