The Journey East – Laundry, clean up and tie dye

When we arrived in PA my oldest sister had made t-shirts for all of us. The plan was to tie dye them. Tie dye these day is so cool. You band your shirts and then use squirt bottles with multiple different colors to make a multi color tie dye. This is way better than any tie dye I did when I was a kid.

Here’s some before and after pictures of our tie dye project.

The last day of camp was Friday. We still had to go through my moms heirlooms that we were supposed to split between us girls. I’m glad we packed up early because it took me all day Saturday to pack my car.

Evertime I return home my sister R sends me home with lots of hand me down clothes for J and also some boy clothes that fit C. This time was no different. She sent me home with 3 rubber bins of clothes so loading my car was rather complicated.

Friday morning I packed up my family’s clothes and headed out. My sisters JS and M were going to stay behind with thee 3 teenage girls and pack things up. This would allow us to take the little ones and especially my littleĀ  niece A and J home to my sisters house were they weren’t as hard to keep track of. So off we went. When I arrived at R’s house it was apparent to me that laundry needed to be done. I told R that I could take everyone’s laundry to wash at the laundry mat. She said she could stay with the boys and wash all the clothes while I took everyone’s bedding to wash in the big machines. I took J with me and we stopped back at the camp to get the rest of the bedding they had packed up.

The load of bedding was incredible.

When we sorted through all of our bedding and distributed it to owners and we were all exhausted. I was more than happy to put my kids in bed and fall asleep in an actual bed. First I had to go to town and get some more ratchet straps and rubber totes. Off to Walmart we went at 10 pm.
