As a parent of more then 2 kids,
we can expect dinner to go as follows...
Load up 5 plates of veggies, main course,
and a dip.
( because yes DIP makes everything better)
Then if you are lucky you might be able to scoop
a thing or two on your own plate before someone
needs something cut up or an onion picked out
of the middle of their food.
(because HEAVEN FORBID there is an onion in it)
Then just as you lift your first bite of food to your mouth
someone needs a drink because their mouth is on FIRE.
And after you pass out 5 cups, clean up a spill,
hand out napkins.... and then go for a bite of your
now COLD food.
They all shout for seconds.
So while the kids are scampering off to cause
more trouble, as the experienced parent that you've
become you know if you don't keep the kids
within eye sight you never know what trouble they find.
And you come up with the next best thing...
make them clean to keep themselves busy.
Dan loves this little red vacuum.
It's light weight and can clean carpet and tile.
Keira insists on following him around
and pointing out all of the crumbs
on the ground.
Keira is a stickler for doing things
exactly as Mommy has taught her.
Thus inflicting the same rules on her
younger brother.
Clean Dan, Clean!!
Can't forget under the table
to clean up Daddy's mess!
