Washing the Table
The boys ate lunch outside at the picnic table today. Daniel came as a blue ghost. Jonah came as his own thrill seeking, table climbing self.
I have no pictures of the eating. Just imagine an exotic array of colorful vegetables and superfruits framing a fillet of fresh broiled salmon. Just kidding. They had chicken nuggets shaped like dinosaurs and crinkle cut fries. I gave them green beans, but i highly doubt any were swallowed.
Anyway, after they ate the whole table was slimy and green-beany with a sheen of milk. I was trying to think what order to clean things/ children in when I had a sudden and excellent idea.
We played 'wash the table.'
Which quickly turned into 'wash the brother.'
And then we brought out the shaving cream.
With a little bit of encouragement to scrub faces and the table, and a few buckets of water poured over everything and everyone (Except me. I'm too fast for them.) I was able to completely escape the whole wiping and scrubbing aspect of lunch! They had fun too, and went down for naps really well. All around win. Would buy again.
Now I will go put a blue blanket, two swimsuits, and two lunch outfits on to wash and have a cup of tea.
Goodbye! :)
