I was snapping beans today and Kilynn thought it looked so fun. I let her try snapping one and she got really into it. At first she would snap each bean in half and I'd follow up and snap ones that weren't small enough. As she went along though, she seemed to realize that I wasn't just snapping them in half and she started snapping long ones in half again. She was helping me fill up jars, but she was doing such an amazing job that I let her have her own jar to fill.
Everytime she snapped a bean she had some exclamation to make. She'd either say "SNAP!" or "Good job Kilynn!" or "You did it!" or "POP!...(and then singing) Goes the Weasle."
This is the jar that she filled up all by herself! All I did was put my hand in every now and then to pack them a little tighter.
She was such a cute little canning partner. I hope her enthusiasm lasts for when she is older!
I had the perfect amount of beans from our garden to fill seven quarts today. No more and no less! How often does that happen?

I'm so glad you are feeling better and are blogging again! The kids were amazed that Kilynn is talking so well- it makes her seem so old. She is such a cutie!
I also need to add that what Kilynn was saying as she snapped beans shows what a cute mom you are with her:)
She is so cute. Maybe I should hiring her on to help me do some canning.
