Who needs clean clothes?

Who needs clean clothes?

Well, unfortunately, my entire household of boys need clean clothes. This need creates a TON of laundry around here. Many of you might not understand the sheer volume of laundry done on a weekly basis at the Trent house. I do approximately 8 loads per week. Usually, Monday is laundry day. I do laundry from sun up to sun down (and it might even overlap until Tuesday if I am lucky!) Some of you might think - "wow, 8 loads of laundry per week, that is crazy talk!" It is crazy - I remember the day when I used to do 2 loads for little old me every week or two. I want to send a big THANK YOU out to my dad who helps us keep these clothes clean with Ecolab soap. It works great and saves us a TON of money for our fam.

Additionally, the news around our house is that bear is walking...truly. It has been a long awaited step for him, and he is doing it! A lot! It is so cute, because Logan is so excited for Brody. He keeps giving me updates on what he is doing throughout the day..."Mom, he just turned around, Mom, Brody just walked from your room to the kitchen, Mom, Brody is going fast..." Brody is precious, because although he looks like Frankenstein when he walks, he is SO proud of himself. We are so excited for him!

In other news, Logan FINALLY went 7 full days without having a potty accident during the day. Now, 7 days to some people might seem like not very much, but we have been working on a full week "clean and dry" for about a month now. Truly. We would go 5 days, then start over again, go 6 days and start over, etc. The prize for this feat was a brand new shiny light saber. Logan was SO excited and proud of himself. Now he can also have a light saber war with the other kids in the neighborhood. Light Sabers are a big deal on Sumac right now. We have approximately 6 boys on our street who bring them out along with their inner Luke Skywalker :) Hopefully this one won't end up in our freezer. (see previous post) Right now, it is in Logan's hamper for "safe keeping while he sleeps."

We want to wish Grandpa Gruninger a belated Happy Birthday!! It was on Wednesday - we hope you had a great day. The boys and I celebrated by basking in the great weather at the zoo in Ft. Worth. Thank heavens for such great weather this week. We have been really enjoying it sun up to sun down...
