and every afternoon i look at those windows and notice how absolutely filthy they are!!!
i put the kids down for their naps and completely forget about those windows.
until yesterday!
it is so satisfying to look up into the blue sky and see clearly.
the laundry, on the other hand, is an ongoing process. but this week we jazzed it up a bit. i have never separated laundry. well, i do keep hubby's extra dirty clothes in a load all their own, and i guess i separate the heavier items, like towels, but i never separate colors.
this week i got bit. i forgot the new red and white rug had never been washed. thankfully it was just in with some rags and diapers, but now they are all pretty and pink!

very pretty undies!! i started teaching my kids to sort when they were old enough to walk to the laundry basket...we have 2 one for "lights" and one for "darks" and very handy because each basket (unless overflowing) is about 1 load. the kids also help fold and even though sometimes i don't like how they are folding i know they need to learn this valuable skill.
that is such a great idea...we still don't have a good spot for a general laundry basket. right now we have one in our room (and still looking for a better size) and one in jack's room. if only we could afford the ikea organizing system :)
i agree on folding - so important to learn, and such an easy (nothing to break, mess up) one to practice doing our own part in the family. we started with matching socks and now jack calls himself the "square-folder". they do put their own clothes away which is FABULOUS! step-by-step.....
