Team Car Cleaning

My latest project has been getting the kids to help around the house more with chores and generally being more helpful and independent.  Last weekend, the car was a total mess when we got home after visiting friends, so I told the kids we were going to clean it up as a team, and that whoever did a good job would be rewarded by getting to use the Windex spray and wash the windows.  Benji used the mini-vac, Daniel used a broom, and Tamar used the duster.  They were all extremely motivated by this prize and each did a great job.  Benji worked the hardest and was allowed the extra-special privilege of washing the OUTSIDE windows as well.  He really got into it!  Unfortunately, I only got a photo of Tamar hard at work with a duster (assisted by Minnie Mouse) because the early use of Windex spray required a high level of supervision to make sure it only went on the windows and not on seats, carpets, or eyes.  The car looks much, much, nicer now.  --Victoria
