Wanderings of the Mind - Car Wash

This weekend, my car was filthy inside and out, and I decided that it was finally time to do something about it.  I emptied out all of the clutter inside, returned a bunch of the kids' toys and books to their rooms, and drove the car over to the local gas station of vacuum out the interior.  That just left the matter of the dirt on the hood, doors, and windows.

Luckily, I have two kids who think that dealing with that sounds like fun!  We got the bucket, sponges, hose, and soap out, and set to work.  They did a great job soaping up the whole car (well, at least everything 4 feet and lower).  I'd help wash, then rinse a section while they kept begging to be squirted.  It took about 20 minutes, we all got pretty wet, and we had some good fun.  Enough fun, in fact, that the kids begged mommy to wash her car, too.

I think we'll try to do this every couple of weekends from now on.  It's good for the car, and it keeps the kids out of trouble.
