The Weekend Car Wash | Things to do in Burundi

In Burundi their isn’t a huge variety of weekend activities to choose from. We usually aren’t daunted by this, but it does lead to the induction of some interesting weekend pass-times. The latest craze in the Carlson house? Our very own Saturday morning car wash. By the time my boys are finished “washing the car” they are drenched from head to toe and, usually, so are we. We all have a whole lot of fun though. Our two year old walks around saying “Wash car, mommy?” all week long until we say, “Yes, Neo… it’s ‘car wash’ day” then he bolts for the driveway with a sponge in hand. Speaking of Neo, excuse the naked two year old here, if that sort of thing bothers you. I tried to limit any full frontals to a minimum!

Susan Carlson - Kristy, Thank you sooooo much for helping the Grandparents enter into the boys’ growing up with photos and well worded articles. These wise, and often creatively fun family comments will encourage other parents as they raise THEIR little boys and girls.

Sarah - What Beautiful images. Such delight on your smallrst boy’s face!

Maggie - I needed a pick me up so I came to the blog. You didn’t disappoint. Thank you!

Kristy, great placement in the photos – no really full fronts exposed. I know its not always so, because living is hard sometimes, but I love your photos they are always so vivid with beautiful happy faces on those kiddos. Full of Life, color, actively loving and living. I pray that those moments are reminders when the days are long.

Sev - You’ve got IT plates, finally!! LOVE these pictures, made me nostalgic of the boys xx
