Grace At Work

I'm only ten and kept bugging my mother about getting a job. My brothers seemed to be able to keep busy doing odd jobs and I wanted one. I suggested babysitting but mom told me I was too young. One day after bugging her again she told me about this family who had three little kids and then twin babies. She told me to offer my services as a Mother's Helper. My brother said it was a stupid idea and she would never call me. I didn't believe him.  About a week later she text me needing extra help. She couldn't lift anything heavy. My job is to move babies and feed them. The twins wear parachord bracelets so the parents can tell them apart. I am learning all about caring for babies. YAY!  Grace has perfect timing. And always gives you what you want. I spent some money fixing the tube on my bicycle and opened a savings account.

Our Post Cards

We all made cards. It was a fun project. We first sewed our hearts and ribbon onto a piece of thick fabric. The thin seemed to wrinkle up too much. Then we zigzagged a 5" X 8" flash card to the back. Last we trimmed up the edges. It's a small project with great rewards.
