Making Uncle Gabe Proud

Today it was just Millie and I at home. Levi was out having a blast at Kings Island with Uncle Joe, Aunt Tammy, and Jacob. We spent the morning doing laundry and cleaning our bedrooms. And of course we watched a few episodes of Blue's Clues. Millie's current favorite show. We have just recently started letting her watch limited DVD's.

I was in the laundry room folding the towels and when I came out I found Millie with her toy spray bottle and sponge cleaning her car. I quickly grabbed the camera to capture the moment and immediately thought of how proud Uncle Gabe would be. For those of you who don't know Uncle Gabriel is the "Car Detailer King" His vehicles look like they are coming off the showroom floor every time I am in them. Very clean are they.Door looks clean.I think the inside needs some work.

Spray some cleaner.

Wipe the horn.Make sure the wheel is clean.

This detailing stuff makes a girl tired.

So Uncle Gabe you should be very proud of Miss Millie, or should I call her "Little Pete?" Hopefully she will keep this up later on in life because I certainly do not.

After looking at the pictures I feel I must explain her attire. Yesterday, Bethany - the babysitter- planned a whole beach day. She put the kiddos in their swimming attire and set up a beach. Complete with sand, water (blue paper streamers) and a pool. They swam, had a picnic, and made a sandbar craft, and worked an Ariel life size puzzle. ****She is a great babysitter!***

Both kids love her. So today when it was time to get dressed Millie had to put on her swimsuit. I just let her. It was easier. Pick your battles.
