Busy at Nona's House

When I went back to work part-time when Reese was about 6 months old, Reese has stayed with my moma, her Nona on Mondays and Fridays. I always get picture texts or Facebook updates about their day.

Reese is one BUSY two-year-old and these next few pictures prove that...I laughed outloud when I saw these all on facebook.

Washing dishes -- which Moma did tell me they were washing CLEAN dishes :)




Next up on the agenda: Baking Brownies! (moma always makes sure to tell me she gets the brownie mix that she doesn't have to add raw eggs in - giving the reason behind WHY she lets Reese eat half the batter while stirring them!)




A brave Nona - breaking out the finger paints :)
(This actually took place while moma was talking to Carlee on Skype and Reese snuck away and took the paints into her own hands...Nona just smiled, let her paint and then cleaned her up!)




A quick clean up before naptime...in the sink, of course!



Sleepy time --- back up after only an hour :)


The mess in the next three pictures gives me a headache just looking at them :) This is what being a grandma is all about, huh?




All that plus three outfit changes...one exhausting day, I'm sure :)

Nona isn't the only one who keeps my sweet Reese while I work -- thank you to all my family members who keep her and help us out so that we don't have to put her in daycare. This makes having to go to work 2-3 days per week that much easier. Thank you! Thank you! I don't say it enough...

My mom does the same thing, it is so nice I can still see what she does all day even when I'm at work. Isn't it great to have family members who can help, it's a blessing:)

You know that I love this girl to the moon. She is such a joy and I wouldn't miss this time for the world. She has all of our hearts.

What a hoot! My momma keeps Allie two days a week so I can work and these pictures remind me of all the stuff they get into. I think it's safe to say that the grandmas are MUCH more patient than we are, especially when it comes to b.i.g messes!

I would love to get together with y'all. Maybe one day next week? I'm not sure what days you work, but I work Mondays and Tuesdays. Let us know when you're free!
