If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that my girls help out quite a bit. Whether it’s chores or digging holes, they’re (usually) eager to help out. We want to teach them how to work and that it’s expected when you live in a family of our size. My niece and nephew, who live in Kansas, came to stay with me last week to earn a little extra money before school starts. They come from a family of 8, and boy do they know how to work! I was so happy to have an extra two sets of hands. I had lost hope of getting some of my backyard projects done, and by the end of the week, it was amazing that we had finished things that I didn’t think I would be able to get to for months. They’ve been digging, staining, painting, and helping me move and pour concrete. It’s been fabulous! If your kids want to spend a week at Auntie Crystel’s house, call me.
Malcom Isn’t Asking For Seconds
We started Malcom on semi-solid foods last week. His first taste of real food was runny egg yolk from one of our own chicken eggs we fried up. Egg yolk contains all kinds of healthy fats, fat-soluble vitamins, and is a great source of lots of brain nutrients like choline and omega-3 fatty acids. He seemed to like it, but he’s got a bit still before we start supplementing his food for real. Bananas and avocados are next.
The Stout Clan Cleaned Out Walmart
