first the washer


now our dish washer. we were lucky to have gotten three good years out of the appliances that we were lucky to have bought with our house but they are all starting to go. today i have been hand washing dishes all morning and thinking of all of my favorite memories as a kid. cody always teases me that all of my greatest memories as a kid revolve around work. we had office buildings to clean, apartments to maintain and chores galore at home. i think it is the secret to success for close relationships with siblings. my siblings love each other and i think it is because all of the work and fun we had together growing up. it was a total trip down memory lane as my fingers turned to prunes, i had my ipod on shuffle as every song played seamed to be from my dads collection we all grew up to appreciate great rock and roll on. although it was an enjoyable start to today i think it will be getting a replacement this afternoon.

Hahaha SO funny....my memories of growing up: 1)weeding the yard, 2) helping my dad clean the kitchen, 3)house work in general while listening to my dad's favorites (The Temptations, Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra, Simon and Garfunkel, etc.). This post alone took me down memory lane haha, thanks.

That is one thing I am trying to do with our kids. I want them to be close to each other.
