The Helpful Joneses

Whenever Charlotte or Peter are being "helpful" while Corey or I are working on some project, we call the little helper "Helpful Jones". While we were at my parents' house last week, there were all sorts of instances where one or both Helpful Joneses showed up hoping to gum up the works.  I had previously posted a photo of Helpful Charlie Jo Jones assisting Grandpa Spike with the faucet installation.  Here, Helpful Peter Jones was very interested in offering his assistance with the swapping out of door stops.

It was especially interesting to watch Grandpa Spike demolish the old butler's pantry.

Charlotte declared the empty space her "home" and she made a little bed out of old towels.

Not to be outdone, Petey set up his own bed (with help from Mommy) in the space across the way where more cabinets were being replaced.

I was doing dishes a little later and Helpful Charlie Jo Jones insisted on participating.  I got a step stool out and should have known that Helpful Peter Jones would soon follow his sister up onto it.  After it got a little splashy in there, I sent the Helpful Jones siblings on a permanent break and kicked them out of the kitchen.

If you have any need for assistance with handyman chores or household tasks, please let me know.  I would be more than happy to lend out the Helpful Joneses at a very reasonable rate.  Actually, I may pay you to take them for a while.  Those two are exhausting when providing help.
