My older kids complained about doing the dishes and became ever so grateful for the dishwasher. They promised they would never complain about unloading the dishwasher again! It was good for them to learn to appreciate this appliance in our house.
I must say Jordan was very good about doing the dishes. He actually really likes it. We got the dishwasher fixed yesterday (hooray!) but Jordan was sad that we could put dishes in the dishwasher again.
On a side note just a cute picture of Cody and Jordan on New Year's day after letting Carson paint their faces.
Darcy's new nickname is "the Dog Whisperer". He loves dogs! We had Zoe (the little dog on his lap) spend New Years Eve and Day with us and Darcy was quite happy to have a lap dog that would snuggle right in and then his "Black Jack" who is his "real man's dog".
Happy New Year to everybody! A hint for anyone who has kids that complain about unloading the dishwasher as part of their chores - just let it break down for a couple of days and let them do the dishes the old fashioned way. It really does work! They looovvvve their dishwasher and are happy to unload it anytime you ask them. (We'll see how long that lasts:)
