Teamwork

We were without a dishwasher for the holiday season so we had a lot of child labor going on at our house. We spent a lot of quality time together over the past month during "dish duty." It required teamwork and sparked conversations.




Washing dishes by hand also made us aware of just how many dishes a family of five uses in a given day. I must confess that often we chose to use disposable items to cut down on the amount of dishes.
Late last week J.J. came home with a surprise for the family....a new automatic dishwasher!

Even big kids like to spend time playing in boxes. It sure beats washing more dishes!


The installation was a success and we now enjoy one of life's luxuries once again. I must add that we have heard little complaining about clearing off plates and loading them in the dishwasher or about unloading it and putting the dishes away. Being without a dishwasher for a season taught us all a lesson on being thankful.
