Oh, but it's not the washing that needs to be done. Its the folding. We've been digging through high piled laundry baskets for clean, horribly wrinkled clothes for two weeks now. I'm too tired to fold them by the time the boys are in bed. But I like your idea. Shoes it is! Our weather is PLENTY hot enough for being a nudey
Oh, paleeeeze! Like your boys won't be offered scholarships all over the place. Make them work all summer to help pay for your groceries, and let THEM live on PB. You need to get a deep freeze before they go so they can drool over the filet mignon you'll be eating while they camp out in the dorms. If they cry about it, ask them if they need a lacy hanky and bigger pink panties.
Well, I admire your optimism and only hopes it works out that way. But from what I've read (both in news, college websites, and here on the DIS), it sounds like the white male is about the hardest person to find scholarships for these days! Basically we make a bit too much money, they're good at sports, but not at the college recruitment level, and I'm just afraid good grades aren't going to be enough. But I'll try to be optimistic too!
And I've been meaning to thank you (I'm pretty sure it was you) for the suggestion for putting a damp cloth in the dryer with something that was wrinkled - I've used that tip several times in the past few weeks and it's worked great!
But we don't have any laundry baskets, so I wash, dry, fold clothes and then place them neatly on the boys beds where they promptly push them onto the floor and then step on, over and through them for the next week or two until I lose my temper and tell them they can't leave their rooms until everything's put away. Then they stuff all of them into one drawer together, under the bed, or into the closet.
Anyways, we're under a flood watch, Eric has a soccer game a half hour away this evening, it's lightning and thundering like crazy out there and in the 60's, but of course they won't do the common sense and cancel it. No, we'll have to go show up, and wait in our cars for an hour for them to determine that it's too dark to play (if the storms keep up), or we'll have to huddle out in the cold and rain (if it keeps raining, but stops lightning) while the kids play in a foot of water/mud.
Not quite the same thing! 
By our 25th (in 5 years), we should have 3 boys in college at the same time! 
Maybe we'll be able to put peanut butter AND jelly on the bread that night!
