Not like Mom

Clue #1 that I don't do laundry like my mom:

After telling the kids to bring their laundry down and sort it by color I was inundated with replies like "what?! what do you mean?"

I mean sort it by light colors or dark colors.
"So, this dark pink, where it would it go?  And gray, what do you call it?"

Not kidding, every.single.child said the same things.

Clue #2 that I don't do laundry like my mom:

My kitchen currently looks like this. 

The view this morning

Matthew had time to turn a few cartwheels before catching the bus.

And Claire had time to laugh. Of course, when doesn't this girl have time to laugh? It's one of the things she does best.
