Clothesline!

 
A few months back I asked Brandon to build me a clothesline for an anniversary present.  Well, it's has been the best anniversary gift yet.  I have 100 feet of line, and with the summer heat, everything dries faster than in the dryer. 
  One of the main reasons I asked for one is for the cloth diapers.  They have to air dry anyway, so it's nice to put them outside and have them dry in a couple of hours instead of waiting all day for them to dry in the dining room.  I can now have them dry by naptime and have that chore done before the girls wake up.  One less thing to do after bedtime in the evenings! 
  I know use the clothesline for all our laundry except our towels.  The towels end up crispy.  I am a little disappointed though that a clothesline only save a person $100 a year.  I thought it would be more.  Oh, well.  It's nice to get out in the fresh air a couple of times a day. 
Allison loves it too!  She see the basket of laundry by the door in the morning and gets excited.  She knows we are going out.  I usually go ahead and put her in her swimsuit, but occasionally I forget or think, "Oh, she won't get in the pool today."  She always prove me wrong.
