I believe we have successfully tamed the laundry monster at our house! We started on July 10th. THIRTEEN days later, and I haven't done a single piece of laundry for the girls! Considering that I used to find the girls' laundry sorter overflowing 5 days after finishing the laundry, I'd say the game worked!
Megan and Hannah tied for 1st Place - with 9 articles of clothing in the laundry (not including undies and socks). They're splitting a pack of "wall stickers" I found at Dollar Tree awhile back. Grace came in a close second with 11 articles of clothing and has her sights set on winning the next round of the LAUNDRY GAME!
I'd highly recommend trying this at your house and see if you can tame your laundry monster!!
Well...I did laundry for the girls again on August 11, 2010 (that's 19 days since the last laundry day)...only 1 large load!
ReplyDeleteMegan was the winner this time, with 5 items. Hannah came in 2nd with 8 and Grace finished last with 14. I think I shall help Grace decide whether clothes are ready for the hamper. I'm not sure big sisters are trustworthy helpers in this area! ;o)
