And what do I have to look forward to when they are teenagers???

Notice the empty closet. It was totally full 5 days ago. How do they go through that many clothes in five days? read on...


Shoving clothes in drawers. This is how they clean. I really don't care at this point as long as they are off the floor:)

So I admit to freaking out just a little bit. And I totally take it for granted that my daughters can dress themselves. I mean, I tell them, go get dressed, go get your pjs on. And they do. Jack reads to them in their room. And on his duty nights, they sleep in our room. I only go in there to put away their clothes, which is becoming less often, because I don't have time. I have also been wondering why i have so much laundry to do. I think I have figured it out. Jacks last duty day I had to venture in their room. And what I saw promptly cause me to freak out. I had just hung up almost all of their clothes, and they should have had two full drawers of pjs. Alas, their drawers were empty. And half on their closet was also. Everything was on the floor. Uggg!!! So I got them their pjs. And the next day I told them to pick out 2 pairs of shorts, 2 shorts, 2 short sleeved shirts and 2 long sleeve. I was pretty much going to put away everything else. I had already thinned their clothes down a few weeks ago, but I guess i was going to have to do it again. Well we were also going to the park that day. And I guess that we have gone to the park so many times now when it has been cold and they are so used to having to wear 2 pants and whatnot that they totally misunderstood my meaning behind them picking out those clothes. And my mood greatly improved after seeing them with two pairs on pants, with shorts on under and over their pants and the many shirts they had on. If I had thought about it, I should have gotten a picture of that. But I didn't. I didn't even get a picture of the original disaster. And maybe that is best since I might get angry everytim I see it. I was, and still am in some ways, contemplating all dresses for them. Jack last night took control as he saw how much this upseted me. He told them that if he went in there at night and there were clothes on the floor they wouldn't get read to. But if you see from my pictures from this morning, this may take a few days for them to get used to.
