christmas sweat shop and the car wash

i turned my kitchen into a christmas sweat shop last week.  after making 100 cinnamon rolls, i figured it would be no sweat to make and decorate neighborhood gifts.  i made wheat pancake mix with cranberry-orange syrup, hot cocoa mix with peppermint marshmallows, and chocolate-dipped peanut brittle.  i made everything in bulk sizes, tripling and quadrupling every recipe a couple times over, but the brittle i made in extra bulk size--spending two days on just the brittle, making the recipe over and over and over and over and...

the perpetual state of my kitchen last week.  this week i am cleaning.

  




pace's new obsession is the car wash.  he has been to a real car wash two or three times, and has hated it every time.  but you tube has won his heart--he wakes up in the morning asking the watch the car wash.  we build car washes with blocks.  anything that has tower-like things side by side he turns into a car wash.  so while i was slaving away last week in my self-induced sweat shop, pace turned the kitchen table into a car wash.  the chairs became convenient rollers, and after watching him go around the table a few times, i thought his blanket was a nice added touch.  he loved it, too.

How come there's no water in the car wash?
