The Vacuum Cord

A favorite activity in our house is pulling out and retracting the vacuum cleaner cord.

From the vacuum. Not the outlet. (Usually.) :)

Carter loves it. The kids spent quite awhile this morning doing just that! They love to press the grey button and watch the cord disappear - especially Carter! Although, he's done it a number of times while I'm in the middle of vacuuming too. (Not sure how to stop that). The vacuum is permanently planted in the corner of the kitchen. Our whole house except for the bathroom (thankfully) is carpeted. That was the one thing that I hated when we moved in. The carpet in the kitchen!

(His shirt says: "It seemed like a good idea at the time." I got it for Aapo, it was only fitting! And it works for this guy too.)

I just wanted to add: These ones with the vacuum were taken with the flash. And I don't like how they turned out. I tried taking them without but there wasn't enough natural light in the kitchen and with the camera I'm using, if the kids aren't perfectly-still (and when are they?!) when I'm taking it and the light is more dim, they turn out blurry. So, I used the flash...and I'm not as happy... Oh well, at least the weather's getting warm and I can start taking them outside! A real bonus.
