Car Wash 2008

I use that title because we next to never wash our poor van. Sad but true.

Seeing how much fun everyone had "helping" though we just might need to bump our car wash standards up at least to a semi-annual event.

warning: more pictures than you may have ever wanted to see of someone washing a car

Joseph was so excited he could hardly stand it. "I wanna help!" Was uttered approximately 4,789 times.
Nehemiah was happy playing in the water the leak in the hose was leaving in the driveway.
That is, until he saw BUBBLES!
Woo-hoo! bubbles bubbles bubbles bubbles bubbles bubbles bubbles bubbles bubbles


I really like this one of Joseph. Not sure why, but it's one of my favorites.

Joseph was in charge of the hose. That can be a dangerous thing. He was a helper though. Here he is helping Nehemiah and Hannah fill their watering cans.


There was such a look of concentration on his face. He was working hard at his job.

Ah, maybe not so much here. :)
This is Hannah posing. She stands like Joseph. She'll do anything "like Joseph". They are two peas in a pod those two.
Uh, don't know whats up with that face but do you notice how WET he is? That would be from the watering cans I mentioned earlier.
See?





Yeah, we'll have to do this again.

I love "Car Wash 2008". :) It's not the norm here either. Whenever we do happen to spring for the automatic wash, the kids are actually scared to death. It's really almost funny... :)

Hi Valerie;

Wow, your family really gets into their chores! Fully immersed I'd say!

Great pictures, wonderful action filled shots to cherish!

*I have seen Bob books with the curriculum at Barnes and Noble, do you have this book store near you?
