Does This Happen to You? (Blessing #1)

I used to do laundry a load at a time throughout the week. Then I noticed that Ella was wearing the same two or three favorite outfits over and over and over. So I started doing laundry once a week.

This is the kids hamper!

I don't think it normally gets this bad but honest to goodness, this is only one week's worth of laundry (and there aren't bedsheets in there either). We must have had a very dirty, messy week!

For example, if every child spills breakfast on their pajamas every day for seven days (not that hard to imagine, honestly) that's 21 pair of pajamas. Then every kid wears at least one outfit a day (and inevitably spills on, falls down in or otherwise dirties it) that's 21 outfits and that's only if they don't change clothes a single time during the day. If you have children you're laughing right now because we all know they love to change clothes a gazillion times. Then there are dress-up clothes that get spilled on at tea parties and boogered on by playmates.

And did I mention that we bathe around here every so often? So that adds towels and wash clothes that aren't included in this picture.
And this isn't even a bed changing Monday!

Do I have a point? Point? Point?

Oh yeah, my point!

I LOVE washing machines AND dryers! I love yummy smelling detergents and fabric softener. I am a million, zillion times thankful that I don't have to wash on a rock or board or even roll a machine out into the kitchen and attach it to the sink. I LOVE not having to hang dry my laundry (especially since its like 20 degrees outside).

Happy Laundry too all!

p.s. I have an odd laundry room I'll show you later this week. promise!

(another p.s. washers/dryers are my blessing #1 this year (but not my #1 blessing))
