Service Project

    Sticking with the theme of me being sick for months..........Pregnancy is not a friend to me or anyone in our family for that matter. I can't go in the kitchen for the first 5 months. I just can't.  Even if it's clean, the smell makes me sick. I can't even deal with the smell of boiling water, really it's that bad. Sam and Logan are old enough to understand that I can't do a lot for them during this time.  Dave will come home from work and make dinner, and lunch for the next day. He then will get the boys ready and in bed before he cleans the kitchen and makes it so I can go in there the next day to help Logan get lunch.  He gets up early and makes himself and the boys breakfast, cleans that up and is gone for work by 6:30 am. Well he had to go out of town for a few days on business, he had been postponing it for months probably he was scared what the boys would eat while he was gone. He couldn't get out of it so he went and left us for 3 days. Sam was such a big help he would make sandwiches for dinner and get Logan Pop tarts for breakfast every morning. Both boys were so helpful to me. One evening Sam came to me on the couch and told me he had a surprise for me. I knew he was in the kitchen, but I wasn't exactly sure what was going on in there. I came into the kitchen and the whole thing was clean in a 7 yr olds way. All the dishes were gone, the table and counter tops had been washed, I mean he really had cleaned. Side Bar: Sam's job is to unload the dishwasher, it has been for a few years now and he's got it down pretty good. When I opened the dishwasher, this is what I found.   


   Aren't they the best boys ever!?! I cried.
