I shouldn't really be surprised because Jordan has been a very helpful boy right from the start but of late there has been a reluctance to help out unless it means he gets to stay up late or if he'll get paid for the job!! Yesterday, however, Jordan came home from school & asked if he could empty the dishwasher & put away all the clean dishes. I've usually done this with Annie Joy as part of our lunch time routine but I didn't get a chance on Friday, so Jordan did it for me! He then asked if he could wash up the lunch boxes (the boys each have a Laptop Lunch box that look like
this). How could I refuse?
Annie Joy didn't want to be left out so climbed up onto the chair to help too. It all got rather wet & bubbly from then on! Jordan declared that washing up was SO MUCH FUN & he wanted to do it every day! And low & behold he woke me first thing this morning to tell me that he had just dried up the lunch box things & put them all away & could he empty the dishwasher again before getting everyone breakfast! And he hasn't even asked if he's going to get a reward for all his work bless his heart!
One last thing to tell you before I go & do some LAUNDRY (Mother!! ;-D ). We went to Messy Church at
our church (yes that is Jordan on the website banner!) this afternoon. The Youth Band did the worship which was fun! In the middle of singing Timmy suddenly spotted a rather large industrial hoover in the corner of the hall & said to me 'Look Mummy! God has been doing the hoovering!' I love it! ;o)

There's plenty of washing up here chaps when you come next! AJ looks ready to join in too! They can help with the 'washing' too!!!! Snow just starting again over the Shropshire hills, Long Mynd and Stiperstones.Do you think God has a dishwasher and washing machine too Tim?
We went to the Snowdrop Event at Chirk Castle today but it was cancelled owing to the 'snow event' (quoting BBC here)!Walked by the Llangollen canal instead.
Have a good day you lovely lot
