Your careful attention to this matter will ease your mother’s burdens and you just might get more cookies. Maybe.

I can tell B isn't old enough for this yet or it would top of your list CHAP STICK or the like. Ruins everything.
Ha! I might print this off and tape it to the washing machine.
... too bad my kids can't read yet...
Wow! You thought of everything.
Kettle corn... really?
I seriously considered making this a weekly entry on my blog "What's in your laundry basket?" It's true. All kinds of treasures and not so great treasures (ref#22-EEWWWW!). Hopefully most of those were found BEFORE the cycle ran.
My 4 year old boy likes to put his clothes away under his bed and his sister's crib. Hey, they are put away cuz mom can't see them. I was wondering why he had no underwear and I SWORE I had just done the load. It's so endless I really thought I was losing it. He's just sneaky. Needs a lot of follow up that one. Ah life skilss...why do we teach the same things over every day????
I can't believe that crayons weren't FIRST on the list! I think every single item on that list has been found in my hamper too...plus Star Wars action figures.
Lol! Oh how I've been there and washed most of those things! Ewwww.
Okay, so you've probably read my post on this issue, but the other day I seriously found 4 apples in a load of laundry as I was taking them from the washer to the drier. That's right, 4 apples almost survived the spin cycle--almost.
