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

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

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

  17. 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?!

  18. 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!!

  22. 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!

  23. 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! 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!

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

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

  27. 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!

  30. 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? ;)
