I think the maid does the washing and cleaning though. *grin* Ah, what a different age!<br /><br />And yes, it is amazing how many pairs of pants kids can go through when it is rainy and muddy!

At least for me - my three boys can get EVERYTHING wet and muddy! <br /><br />Your comment about CM philosophy made me laugh. :) Perhaps she would advocate letting the children learn to do the laundry!Emily (Laundry and Lullabies)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16367630628716619991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12347325.post-39993117187938531332010-10-06T11:29:10.601-07:002010-10-06T11:29:10.601-07:00Oh no!

I have the goal that the kids play outside everyday this year no matter what the weather so we've been dealing with lots of wet muddy clothes too!<br />I've been considering buying rain pants from LL Bean.
