Laundry with a twist of fun

It was Laundry Day...Ugg... I hate laundry day.  I went to the basement finished sorting the clothes into their various color and fabric piles.  Switched the stuff in the dryer and the washer, starated a new load in the washer, folded the stuff from the dryer and put it into a basket, then I came back up stairs. I could her giggling from the next room so I went to investigate.  I found McKinlee, and Wynter, two spoons, and a pint of Ben and Jerry's.  I did what any Mom would do on Laundry Day.  I grabbed myself a spoon and dove in with with them.

Summer may have started on the Wrong Foot

I have to say that our First Day of Summer Morning started a lot earlier than any summer morning should.  (Wynter was up at 5.) We got up and the girls wanted pancakes, except for McKinlee who wanted Raisin Bran with the raisins pulled out.  So I poured a bowl of cereal pulled out every raisin and started making pancakes.   We eat our breakfast and of course I finished first, even with all the getting up and downs to get forgotten forks, spoons, glasses of milk etc.  I say to the girls as I clear my place I am going to go balance the checkbook, finish eating and I will be right back.  Moments later Mia came into the computer room and said "Mom, Wynter just squished a tomato all over the table." I responded, "That's okay, just take the rest of the tomatoes away from her and I will clean it up in a minute." With that Mia left.  Next McKinlee came in and said, "Mom, I need to show you something." I said just a minute.  McKinlee said "Mom, I really need to show you something." I said, "Honey, I know about the tomato just give me a minute and I will take care of it." McKinlee said, "You really want to see this." I said, "Okay Honey, just a minute."  McKinlee said, "Mom, take my hand I really need to show  you something."  Realizing she was not going to give in,  I took her hand and she led me to the dining room.


 McKinlee said "See, I told you that you would want to see this."
