Daddy's Little Helpers

It been a LONG time since I washed the cars. Even though we pretty much always have good weather for washing cars around here, with three months of pollen blooms, it seems kind of a like a lost cause. Well, I decided to wash them on Saturday, and to my happy surprise, Annika and Sam wanted to help and were generally helpful. We cleaned the minivan and car in about an hour and had a pretty good time doing so. We even waxed them. (Grandpa Jim is smiling as he reads this!) It's nice to have the kids at a point where they are at least mildly interested in helping out with gardening, yard work, cleaning, etc. Maybe we'll be able to get them into good work shape yet! (The last picture is of Elliot being too lazy to wash the car. He owes me. Can't believe he chose playing over cleaning...)
