Yesterday was a thirteen load laundry day. (My poor workhorse of a washing machine.)
Almost all of the loads ended up on the couch waiting patiently to be folded. Okay not patiently, they were screaming at me, "Fold me! Fold me! Before I devour your children, fold me!"
But I had other things to do, rooms to clean, owies to fix, meals to prepare, etc.
While I was busy fixing dinner, refereeing a squabble, setting the table, changing out loads of laundry and cleaning up something that spilled, my angel of a daughter sat down at the couch and quietly folded and put away every single piece of laundry!
EVERY SINGLE ONE!!!!!
WITHOUT BEING ASKED!!!!!
Words can not express my gratitude. I know any of our family would help if I asked.
Sometimes it's just nice to not have to ask or remind.

Maybe one day (my oldest is only 8)
of course...I was secretly hoping your hubby had done it so I could show it to mine and encourage him to do the same :)
