Workin' at the Car Wash

We had another really good weekend. It was great actually. Weekends like this are such a blessing and I just treasure them. We're blessed to enjoy extra time together as a family and a little extra rest too.

*We were also blessed with Terrell Selph this weekend. I hope our kiddos always appreciate how great he is. And I hope I do too. Having a husband and daddy who wants to be with his family and play with his boys and shop with his wife is priceless. I just couldn't leave out how special he makes our weekends. =)

We were able to sleep late, spend lots of time outside together, grill out twice, hang out, and wash our cars. This, Garrison declared, was his favorite part of the weekend. Workin at the Car Wash (couldn't resist) and having Granna and Papa stop by last night with gifts from their weekend in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge were the best. We kept Emma (their dog) for them while they were away with my sister and Frankie and the boys loved having her here.

This afternoon the weather was beautiful so Terrell decided to let the boys help wash the car. Austin was apprehensive (and a little afraid of the water hose) at first but it didn't take him long to join in the fun with daddy and Garrison. It also didn't take him long to become soaking wet and covered in suds. =)

 
Garrison's favorite part was spraying and rinsing.
 
My loves... working together and having a ball.

 
I hung out and watched for the most part. So nice. Austin took a few breaks with me.
 
Then he stole my chair... but only for about 10 seconds.
 
Then he lost interest in washing the car and decided to play in the soapy water instead. He was drenched. Shoes squeaking with water, clothes stuck to him, drenched.
 
Garrison couldn't miss out on that fun so he decided to get drenched too. They had such a good time.
They both stripped down in the garage before coming in and going straight to the bath tub. We decided that the next time they help wash the cars they should be in bathing suits. We thought it was a little too cool for bathing suits this time but it turned out to be pretty warm when there wasn't a breeze because the sun was so bright. We had a fun Sunday afternoon workin at the car wash and an even better weekend. =)

Washing cars is a great bonding experience for the whole family! Not only is it one less item off the household chores, your kids get to play and learn how to clean cars. They look so happy! You have a very beautiful family! :)
