We have 6 grandsons. They are 27,22,17,16,13 and 4. Yesterday my husband got himself into a bit of plumbing trouble and needed some help. I texted grandson #3 who was with grandson #2. They stopped by to help out grandpa.
When they were done #3 said he was hungry. I had leftover homemade turkey pot pie that I was ready to throw out or freeze since we have eaten it for several days. No worry about leftovers now, #3 had 2 servings and #2 had one good size one. After hubs ate his dinner, it was all gone. And well appreciated.
I still need to make this pair their apple pies which I will do this week but I love having help that will work for food!!

@Asylum Well you know what they say, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach and I have taken that very much to heart. I have them lusting after my prime rib which I will provide on Christmas. lol

@BelleStarr When it comes to boys, they are never full and are hungry all the time.

I raised 3 sons and was always amazed at how much they could eat!

OH what a naughty grandma you have not yet made their apple pie! Still I bet the turkey pot pie was just as well appreciated. There is nothing quite like grandmas cooking. I still try to make something my grandmother used to make and have up to now failed dismally!

@BelleStarr You will be an even more successful one when you fill them with your delicious apple pie. I can almost taste it myself.

Glad they were able to help you out! My older boys always help out their nana and pa when it is needed.

You are a lucky woman to have the boys willing to help. Must be fun to watch them help out. And to feed them.

How wonderful to know that your grandsons have been so helpful @bellestarr
Your clever idea of harnessing them not only helped your hubby, but more importantly, any useful activity helps to keep today's youngsters away from mischief.

They are quite responsible so not much mischief but certainly their strength was much appreciated.

I know what you mean. I have no grandsons yet or grandchildren for that matter but with three sturdy boys it does help even with the manual labor
