If it's broke...

Well, our dishwasher broke.

Normally that would be a tragedy,

but leave it to kids to make everything fun.

We each have our assembly line jobs getting the dishes done the old fashioned way.

Britta gets locked in the corner.

Richard gets "down" with the scrubbing.

The drying team.

The kids get so competitive about who gets to dry the most dishes.

Then sweet Mitchell puts everything away.

Voila! Everyone's happier without a dishwasher!!

(Still, the new baby is being delivered in about 12-14 days)
