Laundry Day

Laundry Day(s) isn't much fun in our house. Armed with only a compact washer and a dryer, and since we have a very active toddler in the house,... well,.. laundry - dirty or clean - tends to pile up. Just to give you an idea, this is what I have in my plate or rather, baskets, right now. Note that when I started, there were 4 baskets and they were all overflowing.

The good news is that these are already washed and dried, the bad news is that since they've been crammed into the baskets instead of folded & hung, most will probably need to be ironed. *sigh*

One more thing to be thankful for is that there is at least one member of our household who enjoys laundry day. It doesn't matter what he may be doing, you just have to turn the washer on and wait... it won't be long before he comes running with his little step stool.

He'll put the stool down in front of the washer...

And he'll watch and observe. He has not tried to put anything in yet, not even his hand. But I'm sure it won't be long before he tries because just this morning, he left his spot for a few seconds and when he came back, he had a toy boat in his hand (but no, he did not put it in the washer yet).
