Laundry Day

Sorting the kids' laundry baskets is always an adventure. I did a laundry post almost two years ago about the time that there was an unknown donor's underwear (toddler size 2) in the laundry. That was kinda spooky but there is usually mystery jackets or shirts in there. Let me share what I found in the girls' basket this morning:

One boot
One strapless dress that hasn't been worn since last summer
One fancy skirt (dry clean only)
One Laura Ingalls costume (that hasn't been worn since Halloween)
A pair of formal satin gloves that I wore in a wedding ten years ago
An empty beach bag
A shirt (still folded neatly from last week's laundry)
One baseball sock
A baby hat that my daughter wore when she was one

And there was more that I didn't even mention. As an added bonus, almost half of the items in their basket were clean. And as I pulled each item out, my daughters would invariably say, "I don't know how that got in there." Hmmm. It seems someone has been sneaking into our home and putting items in the girls' laundry that don't belong there. Should I be worried? Or should I choose to view doing the laundry every week as an adventure? I'm sure it will be boring when the kid's don't live here anymore.

Sometimes boring is a good thing.
