Buried Alive

 

This is my clever mom trick to get Kate to help me with the laundry....We make it a game....Every Monday morning is "Laundry War". She gets so excited to get out of bed on Mondays because she gets to pelt me with laundry. Now I know some of you are saying, "yuck, dirty laundry", but I try to look at it on the positive side, Someone else has collected all the laundry and brought it downstairs for me, she usually helps sort after the war too. Now if I could just figure out a game to get it all put away after it is clean.....that would be good.....
