Yes, laundry is a constant reality with us as well. Whether it’s piles of dirty cloths waiting to be washed or piles of washed waiting to be folded. Laundry will always be with us. I guess that is the case in any home with small children.
(What’s up with being a copy cat and posting cartoons from Dave Walker?)

I can’t help it if you had a good idea first. Imitation is the highest form of flattery, you know.
It’s good to know we are not the only ones with laundry piles. Generally the dirty piles are well-managed. Carolyn is getting into her “nesting” mode in preparation for the next baby, so she put a hamper in the master bath and forbid me to leave clothes on the floor. Andrew has a hamper in his bedroom.
These hampers are eventually emptied into our three-bag laundry sorter. That’s a poor attempt at the three-hamper pre-sorted system we had growing up. It’s hard to implement at my house now with our split floor plan design. Things worked pretty well once you were old enough to have doing the laundry as your chore. Before the pre-sorted hampers, I remember Mama doing seven loads of laundry on some Saturdays! I encourage Carolyn to do a load or two a day and avoid that kind of madness.
The clean laundry mountains are what we really battle, but even they are subsiding. The children’s clothes your wife sent down don’t help out one bit in that regard, but are otherwise appreciated!
