Every
laundry day, without fail, Lemur empties most of the laundry baskets before they can make it into the washer, the dryer and get folded and put away. It has become a weekly ritual for him. He gets really excited when we get the laundry baskets out early Tuesday morning. In fact, he makes such a mess, that we have been trying to get it done BEFORE he wakes up - how's 6:30 sound to you to get your laundry sorted? The other critters and I set out 6 big laundry baskets, round up all the dirty laundry from bathrooms and bedrooms, and let the colors fly. The critters are really good about sorting laundry and pulling all those stinky socks right-side-out (in?). Some of them are even starting to do it when they take their socks off... novel idea! :) Then we stack the laundry baskets up and take them to the laundry room where I cycle them through (in about 10 loads) during the school day. Most of the time Lemur will go into the laundry room and empties one or more baskets, and even drags them around the house. When the critters get home from school we sort the laundry into critters piles, and they fold and put their own clothes away. It is quite a circus when Lemur helps us sort. Usually someone ends up with someone
elses shirt, socks or undies because Lemur throws them into the wrong basket. How's that for getting a lot of laundry done in one day?! It's not my favorite day, it's not the other critters favorite day, but Lemur sure loves Laundry day!
