Vacuums And An Experiment.

This is all Sam would eat for dinner the other night. No meat. No veggies. But I really don't care. He was happy.

But there had to be a catch. This is his "vacuum". He started just vacuuming his noodles up off his plate. See the butter on his face. Yeah. Nice.
And Ruthie got in on the action. She vacuumed all her noodles up, too. But she did eat veggies and meat.

But Daniel and I were tired. So we told the kids we had to go to bed at 7. So the kids said they were fine with that and asked what they needed to do. We told them they needed to do the dishes, clean the house, make dad's lunch for the next day, be nice and go to bed at a decent time. Hee hee. This little thang wanted to do the dishes.

So Daniel and I were lovingly tucked in at 7:03 pm. We didn't hear much from the kiddos for a while. Then Ruthie said she needed to do the dishes. We heard the water turn on. We heard dishes being moved around. These are all that was left in the sink later.

We heard cupboard doors opening and shutting. I finally found the blender pitcher up on this shelf in the laundry room later.

We heard Ruthie shout, "Mom is going to be so pleased with me!" We laughed while we slept. It didn't take long to find this bowl up on the same high shelf in the laundry room after I found the pitcher.

We heard the kids discussing bed time. "So what time should we go to bed?" "How about 9:00." "Well, how about 8:00." "Okay." "Okay." "Okay." It did take a lot more time to find this pot. But once found, I was happy.

We got up out of bed around 7:16 pm. We were too enthused to see what Ruthie had done in the kitchen. All the dishes we found in various spots were soaped and then dried and then put on a shelf. This is how much soap was still in the pitcher when I went to rinse it.

Our little experiment was fun. I still needed to do the dishes. The kids went to bed at 8:30. And mom and dad had a nice little nap.
