Child Labor

I'm still working out how to add things to Blogger.  For Kia and Heather and anyone else who may be having problems leaving a comment, I added a tagboard.  It's in the right column right below the photo of Ryan and Jacob.  I'm using a C-box so we'll see how that goes.  It seemed like one of the better free ones.  Thanks to Sadie and Nancze, I did find the Picasa Web Album where my photos are going so another mystery solved.  Sometimes I can't upload a video straight to Blogger so I upload it to Vimeo and then add it using the HTML tab on the Post Write tab.  Vimeo is also undergoing a change so I used their new interface to copy the code to add here and it's much wider.  That's nice unless it makes things go askew for viewers so let me know if things are wonky.  In this video, Jacob is vacuuming using my rechargeable Electrolux Ergorapido.  He's obsessed with my Roombas and vacuums but the big Dyson scares him so this is just his speed because it's not that noisy.  I use it mainly for the stairs since it's so lightweight and maneuverable.  Funny how little ones like to help out with housework.  That sure changes as they approach the teen years.

Since Ryan and Jacob will be here 5 days a week now, I'll have less time to myself.  I have to work out a deal with Jeff so I can stick to my routine of exercising 3 days a week.  I think I'll try to schedule that for Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays since Ryan is in school Monday through Thursday so all Jeff will have to do is entertain Jacob for an hour on Tuesday and Thursday.  This weekend I will try and make time to find a tagboard that I can add for those having issues with the commenting.  Have a great weekend! We are going to be in the 80's!

  2. Hi Darylynn,
    Having a hard time with your page :( First all I saw was a white box for the video but then it showed up with a cute picture of Jacob but tried to watch it and it froze :( Yay 80's have a great weekend. Hugs, Dru

  3. so sweet. K used to love hoovers, even though he hated the noise when they were switched on! Can't believe he reaches his teens this weekend.

    Your weather is heating up, and ours is cooling down again. It was freezing this afternoon. Yesterday I was walking to and from town in chilly air and sunshine, boiling by the time I got back home, this p.m I was doing the school run in gloves and a scarf and freezing cold!

    Have a gorgeous weekend xx

  4. How about sharing how to find Picasa with me? I'm still wondering the same thing.

    Love the video. Never to young to learn how to help out around the house. Good job, Grandma.

    Sounds to me like you'll be having a nursery school at your house. Those kids are so lucky to have you.

    Hope yours is a wonderful w/e. Hugz!

  6. Years ago when my daughter was little she loved vacuuming so much that my mother bought her a cordless hand held vac of her own. My house was immaculate from then on. She was only tiny but went wild all over with it. It was great!
