Step One: Get him away from his toys.
Step Two: Get a rag from the closet.
Step Three: Wipe the table that Mom has sprayed with vinegar and water spray.

This is Lenny wiping down the counters with vinegar and water spray after washing the lunch dishes. I have asked him to add this to his mental “to-do” list when it is his turn to wash dishes.



What a wonderful idea. Your children look so happy helping out. They seem to be having such a blast. On a side note love the pattern on your dinnerware. It looks like the one I wanted, but we got so many as gifts that we did not end up getting it. Is it from a co. called Table Tops Unlimited? My hubby used to work for the Co.
You have a good eye. Yes, they are from Table Tops Unlimited. I got those plates at the thrift shop. I got dinner plates, luncheon plates, tea cups and saucers and bowls, all for $4!!!
Quite a find!!! I posted about it here:
