Sweet Surprise

This is going to come as quite a shock but my laundry had reached gargantuan proportions just recently.  I'm not sure how it happened but I had basket after basket after basket after basket (no, really, three of the square baskets and one big rectangular one) of piled-two-feet-up-the-wall dirty laundry (so that would probably actually equal eight baskets) once I gathered all of the discarded clothes around the house and put them back in the laundry room.

I am finally seeing the light at the end of the laundry tunnel, y'all. 

Dudes.  That was a long tunnel.  A long, long, long tunnel. 

Tonight as I was trying to get Eliana to sleep Michaela came in and asked if she could start a load.  I told her to go ahead and do the light colored towels.  She was giddy with excitement at the anticipation of doing laundry (boy, does she have some fun to look forward to, eh?). 

Later, when I went in my room to take out my contacts I noticed a couple of little piles on my bed. 

I realized that this is the load that was in the dryer when she added things to the washing machine.  Not only did she take them out of the dryer, but she folded them!  It was such a nice and unexpected sight.  A little blessing at the end of my day.

Harper is all about "helping" with the laundry and sweeping the floor. I'm looking forward to the day the she can take over for me!
