It still doesn't feel like fall to me yet but it is getting there. It is nice that now in the mornings and evenings at least I can open up the windows and let some outside air in. I wish that it was cool enough to start wearing pants and lightweight jackets but no luck so far. However getting to at least be able to have my kids be outside after months of being cooped up in the air conditioning is wonderful. The other day Deke did an awesome head to toe in and out of the van getting it ready for baby. He had all the kids come out to help and they more than willingly obliged.
Out they each ran to find a scrubber and get busy. Emma was extremely excited to help with this task and Hunter of course getting older was not quite as excited about the prospect of helping wash the car. As I sat there and watched them scrub together and listened to the girls squeal as Deke would "accidentally" spray them with the hose it reminded me of my dad.
Sunny days as a kid where dad would have us come out and help wash the car and we would have so much fun washing/playing around with the suds and the water. He would spray us and we would run screaming not to get our hair wet but actually loving every second of it. Took me back and made me smile.
They did a great job and about halfway through the older two had abandoned their posts and headed out on their bikes. Emma right in the age of loving to be a helper with anything finished the whole car right by daddy's side. It cracks me up that some days when I am cleaning the house and she asks to help if I hand her a disinfectant wipe she will spend thirty plus minutes wiping every surface within her reaching range.
Clean car, cute kids, trip down memory lane. A nice way to spend an afternoon working together.
