Laundry is Loads of Fun

This saying is on a cute hanging decor piece that used to be hung outside of the laundry room in our old house. It always made me smile and sometimes I needed that as the task of laundry for four people can be VERY overwhelming. I enjoy doing laundry, I bask in the glow that I (along with my washer and dryer) provide fresh, clean clothes to my family each week. I am a very routine oriented person, a planner if you will. I strive on things getting done the same way and being planned weeks in advance. I enjoy consistency. However, with all of the new things that happen when you buy a house and move, it still feels like we haven't yet settled into a pattern, a routine for much of anything. Today, for example, I have had to do 3 loads of laundry, and put away another that was already for who knows how long, lol. This was just clothes, not towels, sheets, or anything else that you might wash. Spending  hours washing and putting away clothes took it out of me today (I also spent time cleaning the grout on our floor, proof that I am Kinda clean:) ). But then I see these as I am separating and putting the clothes away...

 It makes me smile that I have the chance to wash such cute, little clothes for such cute, little people that I love. They won't always have such cute, little clothes. They won't always depend on my to have clean clothes, either. Luke already puts most of his clothes away himself. This time is fleeting, which is a relief and heartbreaking at the same time. So Today, I remind myself, Laundry is loads of fun.
