Be A Builder

Builders
I saw them tearing a building down,
A gang of men in a busy town.
With a yo heave ho and a lusty yell,
They swung a beam and the sidewall fell.
I asked the foreman if these men were as skilled
As those he would hire if he were to build.
He laughed and said, "Oh, no indeed,
Common labor is all I need.
For they can wreck in a day or two,
What builders have taken years to do."
So I asked myself, as I went my way,
Which of these roles am I to play?
Am I the builder, who works with care,
Measuring life by the rule and square;
Or am I the wrecker who walks the town,
Content in the role of tearing down?

Little Helper Part 2

Previously I wrote about how Carter put all of the silverware away in the drawer and likes to help clean up. I finally got some pictures of him helping with the laundry and dishes. He did this all on his own!

He put every piece of clothing from one basket into the other....

Then put a load of clothes into the washer....

Then took the dishes out of the dishwasher and lined them all up....

Put all the silverware in the drawer....

Was soooo pleased with himself......

What a great little helper!

Much Needed

Sunday my hubby and I went to Layton and stayed at the Hilton so that Bevin could attend a convention for work the next day. It was so wonderful! Gma and Gpa Myers kept Carter so we were able to have a little "us" time. I slept in while Bev went to talk business, and after we went to eat at Famous Dave's. Yum! It was definately some much needed R&R! Thanks Bev and Mom and Dad!
