<\/a> <\/p>\nI am incorporating a new “plan”. Laundry is almost a constant in this house, so I am taking the advice of Real Simple which says that unless they are dirty, jeans should be worn 3 times. I have informed the boys of this and we will see if it turns out to be a really gross experiment or if it cuts down on my laundry time.<\/p>\n
I am also taking the advice of a friend that also has a bunch of kids. She said she always washes each kids laundry alone. That way it saves on all the sorting. I have tried this before but didn’t stick to it. This time I have two baskets for each kid, one dirty and one clean. I’ll let you know how it goes.<\/p>\n
The next thing I am attempting to do is get them to put away their clothes. I have pretty much given up on the folding as they just can’t get it. At least so it will fit it the drawers. Maybe they are doing that on purpose…<\/p>\n
As a last result I will throw away all of their clothes and make them live with two pairs of pants and two shirts. <\/p>\n
Yay, the news just in- winter storm headed our way! Finally the kids may get to use their new snowball “guns”<\/p>\n
Guess I better hit the grocery store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
