big help {from little helpers}

Miles and I recently tried making some festive leaves using wax paper, crayon shavings and an iron.  

Let's just say I'm going to need to make a new ironing board cover...

And always anxious to be involved in big people activities, this is what happened in the kitchen a few nights ago as I was making dumplings...

I turned for 2 seconds to put dumplings in the pot and this is what happened.

She pulled Miles' little red stool up to the counter, grabbed my butter knife and began to "cut" the dough.

She also loves to help her Daddy crack pecans from our neighbor's tree.
