If there’s one characteristic to know about my little Katie, it’s that she loves doing laundry. I recall the early days {with much foggy haze, mind you}, when Katie was just able to sit up herself. While her twin was ferociously messing up the piles I just made – little Katie tried over and over to put them all back.
This girl loves her laundry - always helping put items into the washer, helping switch it to the dryer. And then there’s her favorite, folding.
Not wanting to one day forget this characteristic, I captured this time we shared together the other night. It went a little something like this…
Sorting the clothes
The laundry basket fell over, OMG – the horror!
I’ll get it Mom, this is a disaster!
No, it’s ok – I got it. You just keep taking photos.
Git ‘er done!
Distracted with taking photos, I didn’t notice until Katie pointed out that all the clothes had white fluff all over them. Crap … another pull-up went through the wash! #DriveMeInsane
Should I re-wash? Meh, a little fluff won’t hurt – I don’t love laundry as much as Katie, obviously.
Katie, madly folding laundry on one side of the room – while the sister is on the other side of the room, trying on heels? … Cinderelly, Cinderelly …
Laundry with white fluff all put away, thanks to my little Katie once again. FYI, if you see photos in posts this week and Sophia’s clothing has white blobs all over them – just look away. Pretend you don’t notice. It’ll be easy to spot Sophia I guess, Katie wouldn’t dare wear clothing that has ‘spots’.
wait… wonder if Miss Katie also loves vacuuming as much as laundry….

This was MY bedroom story. So, so sweet.
Well my youngest did like sorting the socks but he loved playing with the basket. Always asking if he could borrow it. It became a jail, house, car you name it.
Ha, we went through that too Josee, so cute!
But, not that they twins can’t fit into ‘the boat’ together, the novelty died down. lol
What an adorable post!
Katie reminds me of myself-While I don’t know if I liked doing laundry, I was mommy’s little helper around the house when it came to cleaning
When I was little, I think it was dusting. My Mom had the best little knick-nacks that I couldn’t touch ever – unless if I dusted them.
…my Mom was pretty smart! lol
Priceless:) So nice that you take so many pictures for a ton of memories!
Sometimes it’s the simplest things that you end up wishing you had photos of Doris. So, I try to do it as often as I can…. try to, lol
SO sweet, can you ask Katie to come over and teach Max how to fold laundry please?
Ha, you know – I’m sure she’d love to!!
If you think washing a pullup is bad, try drying a red crayon. :@ that totally sucked.
Yikes! I’ve washed lip chap so many times, that always sucks too….
You should keep these pictures to remind her how much she loved doing laundry when she hates it in the future lol.
LOL My son can learn a thing or two from her.
