Helpers

Getting everyone in the house after school can sometimes be quite difficult. Yesterday, I brought Donny in the house and went back to the car, where Abigail was still strapped in her seat, to retrieve the groceries. I placed the groceries on the kitchen floor and left Donny sitting on the living room floor. When I returned with Abigail, Donny was calling my name from another room. I put Abigail down to go fetch Donny, who was sitting on top of the washing machine pleading his case on the benefits of a lollipop. (Lollipops are located in the cabinet above the washing machine when available.) I put that fire out and returned to the kitchen to find Abigail sitting next to Ashley's water dish, surrounded by limes and holding two wet limes that she was kindly washing in the water dish. We were in the house a total of three minutes.
