How do 4 kids go through so much laundry? Is it that Jaxom has gotten a bit more rough and tumble and is getting dirtier? Is it that Brenna has to wear 3 outfits a day? Let's see there is one for school, one for home, and one for outside with her friends...on average. Is it that Gunnar insists on changing every time he goes to the bathroom, which turns out is more times than Brenna changes. I think that the only one that doesn't contribute more than necessary is Odin and that seems to be because he is in his naked phase. I wish that I could afford a maid with all that seems to be piling up since I went back to work...but alas, we can't take on that extra expense right now.
Odin did, however, discover the artistic integrity that a Sharpie can add to drywall. He seems to be an excellent contributor to that aspect of cleaning. I came home from work the other day to find that he had spent an entire Sharpie on the walls upstairs and downstairs, on the bathroom sinks, on every door in the house, and the dining room table. Sigh. Justin futilely tried to rub it off with rubbing alcohol, but all that did was smear it around. Any ideas?
And if the kids didn't give me enough run for my money in the cleaning department...Luna, our 7 year old cat, seems to be adding to the mix now. We have been letting her play in the backyard, and recently she has been honing her hunting skills. Last night, Justin let her in, and we immediately knew something was up. She bypassed the kids, their food, and the dog without so much as a glance. Why? Oh because she had a frog hanging out of her mouth. She plopped it down in the entry way and let it bound once before pouncing. Don't worry no animals were seriously injured in the making of this escapade, only a broken plate that was used to cap the bowl that Justin caught it in as it was released into the murky beyond of our backyard.
But I have spent enough time on the blog, the dryer just beeped...time to get back to the grind.
