I have almost replaced myself.

The other day I was finishing up school with Samuel. Abby decided she would surprise me and make lunch for everybody. After several minutes of quiet (which in our house is almost never a good thing) I decided I needed to check on Claire. I then heard Abby upstairs talking to Claire. I quietly walked up the stairs to find Claire standing on a chair, with Abby, helping her make sandwiches. It was hilarious to hear Abby as she, in her most mother-like tone, instructed Claire. It has now become a daily event. Abby can't make a sandwich without Claire climbing up to help her. I figure in about 5 years I can retire and let Abby run everything. (it's what she really wants to do anyway!!!!) In the meantime, if you need any help I will rent out Abby for $10.00 an hour. (unless you're family, then it is just $5.)
