Geek Central A.K.A. My laundry room


Two days ago I made the girls clean their room, the result, 3 loads of laundry. Add that to the 3 or 4 loads of clean laundry to the floor of my tiny little laundry room and I was in trouble. I spent over 4 hours folding laundry!

As part of my "you're growing up and you have to start pitching in around here" initiative. I require the older girls to put their own clothes in their dressers after I fold them. Sure enough, they dropped or pushed their clothes into their drawers so far they are no longer folded. New INITIATIVE.

I am not just seperating the girls clothes, sticking them in one of those 3 drawer plastic containers, and making them take their clothes into their bedroom every night. We will see how it goes. I think it is going to revolutionize my laundry folding.

But the whole point of this blog is to talk about the type of clothes I folded. There was a good amount of regular clothes but here is what I found:

* Note: I let all of my girls pick out their own clothes when we go clothes shopping

Gwin's shirts - "Why ask for Prince Charming when you could have Edward?"
Another Vampire shirt, I don't remember what it said.
A Hannah Montana shirt

Izzy's shirts- A pink skull and crossbones with a tiara.
Pink and Black tights with a black dress.
A gray shirt with a big pocket in the front that looks like a purse.

Emma's shirts - About 4 shirts with monkeys on it.

My shirts - A hufflepuff house shirt
A Forks High School shirt
A shirt that says " I love diet coke"

Papa's shirts- Like 4 Star Wars Shirts
A shirt from Professor Leighton and the Unwound Future

For some reason, this shocked me. I have seen us all wearing them multiple times, in addition to all the other ones that were not currently located in the laundry room. But it was a real, wow, we are a nerdy family. Until I look at Izzy's clothes again. What?! How is my 4 year old cooler than the rest of us?

Cue Sesame Street Song: One of these things just doesn't belong here, One of these things just isn't the same.
