Laundromat Fun

The dryer is making odd noises, and we thought it best to run all the laundry to the laundromat today. As I packed up our things, I made sure the girls each had a book and something electronic to entertain them for two hours. Who knew that we'd never crack open the books or have any need for the electronic gizmo? Not I!

Things one can do at the laundromat to entertain oneself:

1. Put quarters into the slots for mom (Jenna did the washers and Heather did the dryers)

2. Watch front loading machine fill with water and soap bubbles.

3. Go from washer to washer to note the time left and which wash cycle would finish first, second, third, etc.

4. Watch your reflection in front loading washer during spin cycle and make "wooo" noises pretending you are actually the one spinning.

I found watching the girls more entertaining than my own book. It was really cute. They helped sort some socks and underwear after all the drying was done too. What an unexpected, fun time they had today!
