Cole's matchbox car had an unfortunate crash with his piece of peanut butter smeared toast this morning. I plopped it into a bowl of soapy water to soak and the boys eyes turned into saucers. "Car in bubble tubby?" Cole asked. This gave me a great idea. Let's open up a car wash! I told the boys to gather all their cars and in the meantime, set up shop. I pulled out some pans...filled one with soapy water and the other with clean...plopped them on a towel on the floor and our "Car Wash" was open for business!
The boys had a BLAST. Seriously. This was a solid 35 minutes of fun for them. Put the car into the soapy water...rinse in the clean....dry on the towel. Repeat. In the end, I had two wet happy little boys, a bunch of clean cars and a portion of my kitchen floor mopped. :) Not bad!

Great idea!! Now, hand them dishes, cups and saucers!
You come up with some awesome ideas, do you know that? I would have been like, "Whoops, Momma cleaned it! Now go play!"
