Dishes Duty

The girls are finally old enough to get in there and do the dishes!  They have been in charge of feeding the animals and setting the table for a while, but this one is really helpful for me...here I sit, blogging away, as my family do the chores after dinner.  Blissful!  They LOVE helping with the dishes, and long may the novelty last...they stand there chatting away, getting excited about choosing a glass cup - what responsibility! It  makes them giddy with joy.  So cute.

Luke is not to be left out, he LOVES to stand at the sink with daddy.  Whenever one of us stands at the sink for more then 2 seconds in sight of our youngest, he runs and gets the stool and brings it over to the sink area.  Then he grunts and points up and looks at us desperately until we give in and lift him up to "help" (AKA "get soaking wet").  If we weren't doing the dishes, he gets very annoyed at us!  Marty tried hard to keep him dry tonight with one of the kids aprons.  Its not waterproof, but good try darling.

Now if only the girls would grow a little...I wouldn't have to go and put all the dry dishes away now!
