Sorting clothes

With the rain last night and this morning ... it was cool and fresh and pretty outside.  I worked on getting the bnb ready and started laundry.  Missy called to see if we had any spray paint.  I went over there and brought the paint then I was a sounding board while Missy talked out the choices of clothes to pack... Clothes  for Brooks to take to camp on Sunday afternoon.  Clothes for Evan, Anabel and Brooks to take to Ames for Jensen weekend on noon Friday.  Swimming suits to take to Cherokee tonight.  Then the BIG clothing selection:  Clothes to pack for the August trip for Evan, Anabel and Brooks.  Starting with Brooks clothes, Then Anabel's clothes, then Evan's clothes  Missy sorted and laid out clothes on living room floor, chose out clothing, rolled the clothing, secured with thick rubberbands and slipped an index card under the rubberband that had the clothing item name and name of person.   Example: Brooks travel jacket, Brooks shorts outfit 1 of 4, Brooks 9 pair of socks, Brooks  2 pair of jeans ...  Each child had about 25-30 rolls of clothes ready to put into a travel tub.   Plus some clothes for the June and July Iowa/Minnesota time.  Extra wrong size or disliked clothes are heading to the Train.  Missy was really glad to get the task done and I was happy to help and really impressed (albeit, not surprised) by her organization.  While I was put to work labeling index card, and rolling and rubberbanding clothes, Denny cleaned his heart out.  Clean windows at home,  laundry done, carpet cleaned, floors cleaned.    He really worked and it looked great.  The trouble is I noticed too late and too little.  Uffta!!!   Jensens headed to Cherokee for a visit.   Denny took a well deserved nap.  I went out to the soggy ground and pulled 6 wheelbarrels fulls of weeds.  Haley  got a new phone and Torren got his first phone after signing the contract made by their parents.
