I have slightly different Lands End shoes/boots in red too. LOVE them. They keep my feet so toasty and they are so comfy...at an affordable price. Yea for LE!

Nancy said...

You are one lucky mom!

Julie said...

My 5 year old loves vacuuming. How good is that. No doubt its a phase. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Tina said...

Awesome! Take advantage while it lasts!

Should he need extra snow to shovel, he's feel to come to CANADA and shovel mine.

Chicago Sarah said...

Sweet. He's welcome here anytime. We like making people feel important about things like laundry and dishes, too! ;)

Louise said...

As we have no snow, vacuuming is the next best thing and apparently doing dishes is pretty cool too!! For now anyway....!

That sounds like one great kid....probably should keep him around. Great pic too.

I don't live where it snows, but I do have two sons who hopefully will say that mowing the lawn makes them feel important! One can dream, right?!

Jane said...

The shoes in the photo look RED, aren't they?

It is good to know how your son feels about snow, considering where you live! LOL!!

Lisa @ Life with 4! said...

that's cute!
my boys have figured out that it's kinda "manly" to chop kindlin and bring in wood to put by the fireplace.

Amanda Jean said...

Lucky you! I tell my husband that when he shovels (plows) the snow, he looks really important... just so I don't have to do it!

Jen :)

Amy Jo said...

No way!! I was JUST looking at these shoes and pondering if I could justify them. I adore them in red, but the orange is just PERFECT!!
And such a great boy you've got there!

Lucky you! :)

lucky you! my son (18 months) just discovered that he loves helping mommy with the laundry. he helps me carry the basket, takes the dry clothes out of the dryer and puts them into the basket, then helps me put the wet things into the dryer.

now if only he'd learn to fold i'd be all set!

Katherine said...

Looks like he'll be feeling important all winter. ;o) Too cute!

Cara said...

Well I got my boys trained to love cleaning the toilets with those Clorox wands. Best invention ever!

Tasha Horsley said...

Hi!

Just wanted to send you a little note that I finished a Christmas quilt using one of your tutorials. I love the quilt and shared it on my blog today. I linked to your blog in case anyone was interested in the pattern, plus I wanted to make sure you got credit for being so inspiring! THANK YOU!

Happy Holidays!
Tasha

AWWWWWW bless him!

Thimbleanna said...

Hahaha -- what a great kid!

Roxanne said...

We would love to make him feel very important at our house any time! I'm not a fan of shoveling. I keep telling Lee I got married so I wouldn't have to do it. Maybe I just need cute boots? ;)

Renee said...

that is great news - I hope you kept up the encouragement!!

Linda said...

Way to go Z! So glad shoveling makes him feel important! :)

Crafty Mama said...

That is too sweet!

Sewing Grandma said...

Just ordered myself a pair! Thanks for the boost to place the order.

lera said...

What a lucky mom you are! A willing, IMPORTANT helper and some lovely orange and red shoes!

Carmell said...

Puglette said...

I would like to make your son feel important, too!

Anina said...

Just keep telling him how important he is and you'll never have to shovel snow again. :-)

AMY said...

So cute! And lucky you too. :)

Rebekah said...

lucky you! I wonder if we could hire your son for some manual labor around here :)

Clair said...

Z should come live with me...I have been shoveling off and on for the last month. It doesn't make me feel important. (The word verification for this one is ching)
