Guess the lesson--chairs, chairs, chairs,

So, can you guess what we will be revisiting this week from looking at the picture?

Pushing in chairs! When the girls ran off to play yesterday and I walked into the dinning room I saw this. Both chairs at the kids table were left out and 5 out 6 chairs at the big table were left out. This is a big pet peeve of mine mainly because I'm the one that ends up walking around and pushing them all back in.

I have to let you in on a little secret, though. See that one chair at the head of the table? Well, that is my chair when daddy isn't home. Yep, I'm as guilty as the kids when it comes to pushing in the chairs but it honestly drives me nuts!

The reason for the lesson to push in chairs is fairly obvious. We leave things the way we found them so it is ready for the next person. It's respectful. It is not the difficult a lesson the give either. You stand behind the chair, place your hands on the sides of the chairs back, tip the chair forward slightly, slide the chair forward carefully as to not make any noise till it meets the table, sit the back the legs of the chair down quietly. That's it.

So, hopefully after we rehash the chair lesson, and I set the example myself, I won't have anymore opportunities to take pictures like this one.
