JAG AT THE HELM

Grace

My sister Sarah had her fifth child, Grace Pamelia, last week and so Gage and I packed up and headed to their home to help out.




We definitely kept busy playing, cleaning, feeding, eating and playing some more. I brought some dinosaur head masks for the boys and they had such a great time with them.


They would put on a blanket and then the masks and would play like this for hours. And of course little Sidra wanted to copy whatever her brothers were doing so she wanted a blanket on her head too. I didn't bring her a mask, but I did bring her a blanket and a baby bottle to help ease the jealousy of a new baby in mommy's life. It actually worked really well!


The leaves were perfect for making piles and jumping in. Even though it was quite chilly the kids had a blast. Ahhh, to be a child again and find the joy in the leaves. I appreciate the beauty more now then jumping in them.

Cute pictures and cute kids.

That is nice of you to go help. It sounds like you really were good help! I'm always impressed with people who know how to do that.. keep the kids entertained and happy. And I really like that picture of Gage holding Grace. Priceless!

That was so good of you to help out. I'm glad I got to see you for a minute! I would have come again, but Quinton and Clara were sick and I didn't think that would help Sarah very much.
