It didn’t work.

 

Ok, so the plan was to wash the dishes at the table.  That turned out to be way too much hassle.  So instead, I used the basins to carry the dishes to the kitchen where I washed the dishes. 

Kristyn was put in charge of the baby instead of doing the dishes.  Marrissa still cleared the table – put the “middle stuff” away, helped scrape, sprayed and washed the table and swept the floor.  Marrissa is almost 6.  Cora did the little kids’ bath.

 

For the last 2 nights this has worked fairly well.  Matthias is often tired after supper, but a bath and one on one contact will often keep him happy enough for me to finish the dishes.  This is working well.  I plan to keep it up.
