Workin' at the Car Wash

After so much rain lately, yesterday afternoon was just about as perfect as summer weather gets. The girls and Dave planned to wash the cars, and just as they were walking out the back door the neighbor girls came up asking if our girls wanted to play. Since there was no way our girls wanted to miss out on washing the cars {it's a favorite summer chore} they invited their friends, Katie and Allie to come over and help.

While they were playing (I mean washing the cars), I kept thinking of the Car Wash Song. I had the melody in my head, but couldn't remember very many of the words, so I had to google it...



Come summer



the work gets kinda hard.



This ain't no place to be



if ya planned on being a star.



Let me tell you it's always cool



and the boss don't mind sometimes if ya act a fool.



At the car wash...
Talkin' about the car wash yeah!


At one point, I heard the girls' friend Allie tell Dave, "Thank you for inviting us over to wash your cars, this is fun!" I laughed and thought to myself, come on over to play anytime! We've got lots more work to do!

A few good slip and slide races seemed in order when the work was done. I thought both Alyssa and Katie looked to be having a very intense slide on this turn.



The girls had fun and there was only one minor injury...Katie got a very small bloody nose when her sister kicked her in the face. I've often thought slip and slides were one of the most dangerous toys ever invented.



I love Summer! I love the smell of sunscreen and BBQs, and the sounds of little girls kind of giggling, kind of screaming as they slip and slide in the backyard.
