My youngest arrived home yesterday looking extremely tanned and fit.
(Did that boy use sunscreen?)
He was the Waterfront Director at a kids’ camp this summer. Quite the responsible job for a twenty-year old.
To my surprise and delight he’s tackled his own laundry. There’s a bit of a stink coming from the remaining piles of dirty clothes in the laundry room. Pee-uw.
Other items are airing out on the deck. Insects and backyard critters are keeping their distance.
And his junk is spread out all over the house but WHO CARES?
I get to hug, bug and nag him for a few days before he packs it all up again and heads back to university.
The above picture is of the camp – scanned from a Christmas card he received this year. The picture’s been hanging on the fridge. It’s been a nice daily reminder of my boy (as if I needed one…)

Well, he keeps going back so it must be fun! And now he earns money for being there...
That picture is so Canadian...I love it!
As for laundry, I just talked to my boy today and he is tackling his own load today too....now if only I could have him home to hug and nag *sigh*
Hey, I left you an award over at my site...
You're going to make it easy for his future wife to share the household chores. ;)
My daughter just did her own laundry by herself on Sunday. I didn't hear anything about her bleeding any colors or shrinking anything...
He's doing his own laundry? Really? And you're going to let him do that?
I'm scared.
trish:
Your boy will be home soon (Thanksgiving? Xmas?) to hug and nag - with his laundry!
(thanks for the award!)
shari:
His clothes are in such rough shape, he even asked about and used bleach! (With no damage.)
dorky dad:
Don't be afraid.
To be honest? I took over the last few piles - couldn't stand it any more.
Wow! Thank goodness he didn't subject you to touching his cruddy stuff. LOL
Beautiful photo. DUH sorry for my comment about, I have already visited you here, huh?
By the way, my son LOVES to fold laundry and he's only 5!!
attila:
Yup - I definitely avoided the crud.
And some of the now "clean" stuff should be tossed.
kristi:
Excellent start with your boy!
