A Different Kind of Quality Time

   This evening my boys and I tackled the unending pile of dishes. I usually don't let them stack up but we had a full pile to do. Nathan and Jacob are into washing the dishes these days. So I let them decide who got to do the dishes first while the other one played the Wii. And believe it or not they both wanted to do the dishes with me first instead of play the Wii :) It makes me smile because they can be very helpful at times but they are just like other kiddos and want to play and not lift a finger at other times. I love my boys and I'm thankful for some helping hands. I figure they get to eat here, they can help do the dishes. They also help cook. Jacob enjoys cooking more but Nathan helps too, especially if he knows he'll get cookies as the end result. Tomorrow on the agenda is putting away the three piles of laundry that are still sitting on my couch and end table in the living room.
