Laundry Problem: SOLVED!

For the past few weeks, I have grown increasingly  frustrated with the piles of laundry collecting in our hallway.  We keep the laundry hamper in a corner of the hallway, and within a very short time period, I was finding mounds and mounds around the hamper, strewn down the hall.  What I began to realize is that most of the clothes accumulating were coming from a certain 9 year old boy who gains much pleasure from layering his clothes to go out in the cold.  This certain kid was then taking all of the layers off, including the muddy ones, and throwing them into the ever increasing, never disappearing pile.  I could not seem to convince him that the under  layers could be worn again the next time he went out to play.

Last Thursday, I breathed a sigh of relief when I successfully washed and put away all of the dirty laundry.  By Saturday………….guess what?  The basket was overflowing again.  I was about to lose it and told Jared that we had to come up with a solution.  The solution:  Gage is now in charge of washing his own laundry.

I bought this over the door rack for $2.50 and the laundry bag for $1.00 in the dollar section at Target.   Gage is fully in charge of his own clothes now.  I don’t know why we didn’t think of this sooner!  The hamper in the hall has been amazingly low, and I’m loving it!  Oh, and one day, his wife is gonna love me for it!
