Growing

My kids are growing up. Bubby just took off to go work on the pasture down the road. The Bug is peeling potatoes and is waiting on her cake to come out of the oven. Leeny is putting away socks (probably not in the right drawers, but she's trying) and entertaining the Baby. When did they become so independent?
I think I like this. As long as The Bug doesn't push me out of my kitchen because that's my favorite place to be. I wonder if I could encourage her to like cleaning more than cooking? Then all the bases would be covered around here.
