Tackle it Tuesday 5: The Laundry Surprise

Last night I decided to do lil man's laundry, because it had been a couple of weeks since I had done it. Yes, you can judge all you want, but lil man has tons of clothes, so I can afford to do his laundry every couple of weeks.

Anyway, as I was emptying out his hamper in the washer, the last of the clothes dropped unexpectedly with a loud "thump". I thought, clothes don't make a loud sound, do they? So I decided to investigate, and dug into the washer to see what had dropped in there.

"Hubs?"

"Yeah?"

"You remember lil man's pair of blue sneakers that we can't find anywhere?"

"Yeah?"

"Guess what I just found in the bottom of the laundry basket?"

"What?!?"

"Yep."

"No way!"

"Well, I guess we solved THAT mystery!"

There's never a dull moment when you're a parent.

    I find strange things in the laundry, too - and it's not always in my kids laundry either. Missing house keys in my pants pocket is a regular find! I have to do my laundry once/week - I can't face the huge heap of clothes from 2 weeks worth!
