What They Wore-Cozy Clothes

On the way home from church I told the kiddos if they would hang up all their church clothes and put away their shoes I would let them pick a candy.  They all raced to change so fast that I didn't even get a picture of them in their church clothes. On the plus side all their clothes were taken care of instead of tossed here and there. So instead, here they are in their cozy clothes.  Declan is wearing flannel pj pants with a white tank top, Quinton has excercise shirt and pants on, Coy is wearing a soft t-shirt and knit shorts (rain jacket) and Archy loves to match so brown shirt and shorts I think he was inspired by the UPS delivery guys who bring all our Amazon packages. They all decided to play a board game and busted out Star Wars Monopoly. Zany fell asleep as soon as we got home which probably worked in their favor as she would have wanted to play (read destroy).

I faced my Mt. Doom which was a enormous basket of unmatched socks that I have been putting off for a while. (Socks that go through the laundry and can't find there mate end up in a basket with other lost souls.  I had a better method of just putting unmatched socks in peoples drawers and they would eventually met up with their mate but since I have three guys wearing man sized socks I can't do that anymore)   Part of the reason I put it off is that I knew it would take hours (four hours) to get them all matched and put away.  I watched the football game while I was matching and suddenly we had a terrific thunderstorm that knocked out power out for half an hour.  We hadn't had a heavy storm like that forever. We still had our sandbags set up though that helped keep the water at bay.  I like to use these stacking baskets (Wal-mart six or so dollars) when I fold laundry or match socks. They have handy carrying handles too.  I can sit on the couch and put the laundry right into the baskets and the piles don't get knocked over. 

Sock matching marathon

Taking some socks to Quinton, I found him lounging on his bed. Who should pop out of his closet but Zany girl as she and Archy were playing a loud game of hide and seek.

Surprise

Another surprise is that I was able to get all the socks matched and put it away! Huzzah!
