Laundry

The Love Extreme event is off to a great start! Ella and Thomas were really excited to help Chad paint- You can check out Trevor's blog, Jen's blog and Garren's blog for more details and stories!

The rest of this post has nothing to do with the event- just more info. about daily life! I did some laundry this afternoon and thought I would post the process. I had no idea what I was doing the first time I did this! I do this once a week with our underwear and socks. I cannot imagine doing this with ALL of our clothes. We take them to a laundry mat to be washed. It would take me all day long to do it this way! This is where I do laundry. The detergent goes in the tub and the soap bar is for stains or extra dirty clothes.Step 1: Fill the tub with water and detergentStep 2: Add clothesStep 3: Let clothes soak in the sunshine and scrub stains or extra dirty areasStep 4: Drain disgusting water Step 5: First RinseStep 6: Second rinse Step 7: Final rinse Step 8: Ring water out of clothesStep 9: Hang clothes on line The kids played with some toys in this tub while I worked and got SO dirty. It is really dusty on the roof.Here is a look at the clothes I washed. Start time 1:49pm. Finish time 2:53pm. The clothes will not be dry by the time the sun sets tonight, so I will go up tomorrow afternoon and take the clothes off the line. That's it. Just one of many new things we have experienced here in Peru!
