Things to learn from the dishes

• Don't try taking turns on different nights. The girls prefer doing it all together.
• Rinsing is a VERY important step when you're learning to wash dishes. (granted, tuna noodle casserole makes for messy water very quickly)
• At this age, they beg to do the dishes. so let them.
• Have all the pre-dinner dishes done and a sink of clean soapy water ready before you sit down to dinner.
  
• Aprons are a must! =) note to self: make them each another apron in case they don't get cleaned, dried, folded all in one day.
  
• giggling and messes are okay
• thank whoever invented plastic plates. =)
• Remember how fun it was to do dishes at Grandma's house every summer
• Working together makes jobs go faster and chores more fun.
• Plan for a BIG kitchen next time around.
