See those strange red markings all over the pajama shirt? That is exactly what an entire load of Hopers clothes look like after being washed and dried with a crayon somewhere in the midst. About half of her wardrobe fits in a load of laundry, so she'll be running low on clothing until winter comes! I'm keeping the pajamas, since she doesn't have to go "out" in them.Today has just not been a great day. In addition to the laundry fiasco, Seth's pressure cleaner went kaput in the middle of a job, and the chicken I was going to make for dinner came out of the package smelling rotten! I think we all just need to go to bed now and try life again tomorrow.

oh man!!! That stinks!!! I totally feel ya!- not with the crayons yet :) but our clothes here aren't "dye set"... so if I wash something that I haven't soaked in a bucket long enough - it dyes allll the clothes!
Maybe you can save your clothes :) (I don't know if any of these are any good though) :)

Hey, you know something I do when I mess up clothes with our dye problem? I take them to a dye guy (or you could use RIT dye) and dye it a dark color like navy blue, dark green, maroon, etc... and it sometimes works to cover up the stains :) hahaha ok.. I think i've written enough :)
Don't feel bad, once I brought home a chicken from Winn Dixie to bake and when I opened it the bird still had little tiny feathers all over. Gross! I took it back and they returned my money!
