While washing the van the other day, the boys were "helping" me get all the supplies together. So I hand a bottle of car soap to Sammy to take to the van. I also gave them two of those plastic bottles one contained window wipes the other car interior wipes. Before I got the buckets of water to the van, Sammy decided to coat the back bumper of the van with the entire bottle of Turtle Wax soap! I am trying to get his attention to put the top back on. We had about 1 1/2 caps full left of the whole new bottle- we at least had enough- well we made due with what was left.
Then I notice that the boys are floating the plastic bottles of wipes in the bucketof water! I cannot imagine that water in either of those bottles can help the wipes do their job...
Eventually the boys helped clean the license plate and some of the bumper- yes where Sammy enjoyed pouring the soap!
Oh, and to top it off. You know boys and water/puddles...well, the excess water that pooled around the clean van, well, I bet you can guess... I find them jumping into them and dirty water is splashing the van with all sorts of filth!
Well, I guess that's the sort of thing I should cherish! At the time it's quite frustrating, but looking back, there will be a day that Zack and Sammy will be out there trying to wash a vehicle and maybe their little brother will be the one causing them frustration. Who wouldn't have fun splashing in puddles--maybe next time I'll make some puddles for them to jump around in while I wash the car.
