Yesterday as I did a few errands, Poppa noticed the dishwasher (aka dish drainer) was smelling kind of sour. He asked the kids to run it and then went back into his office to continue working. He came out to this.
We only use our dishwasher as a dish drainer where dishes are placed while they dry and then after the next meal, whoever it is that has dishes duty puts them away. Well, my children did not know that you cannot use regular dishwashing liquid in the dishwasher. Of course, in the child’s mind, if a little works good then a lot will work that much better yes? This hilarious episode took place as they quietly tried to clean the mess which just kept coming because of course they all thought they were in big, big trouble.
As I walked in the first one that saw me fell apart in a blubbery, remorseful mess at my feet thinking they had broken the dishwasher and today I may cry at the pile of dirty towels but we all sat at the dinner table and had a good laugh, a long good laugh.
The Christmas quilts are coming along nicely. I can’t say that if I was to go out and buy fabric today (these fabric strips were cut by me about 8 years ago) that I would pick these fabrics exactly, but the girls are so excited to each have their very own Christmas quilts for the big day and isn’t that all that matters.
Today, I am linking up to my friend and moving buddy Nicole. Lots and lots to do today. Must finish 3 more Sweater Babies and run them to the post office. See you tomorrow.
