This is what I found today...
Fruit snacks. No one had them in their pocket. I asked the kids and they all insisted it wasn't them. They just magically appeared. Funny how that works, huh?
I just hope I got them all before I put these clothes in the dryer or I'm going to have one nasty, sticky mess. I'm kind of afraid to look.
And on an unrelated note, I found these pictures on the internal memory of my camera. I'm not sure how old they are or which one of the kids decided to dress up Brooklyn like this...
Yep, I encourage the baby to look like a psycho killer, zombie, pirate wrapped in Ace bandages with bad hair.

I'm sorry but that picture is Hilarious, now I can go to bed with a smile on my face!! :)
I recently had a similar experience. My two year old stashed some in a NEW dress pocket.
Fortunately just a little HOT HOT HOT water and they dissolved and rinsed out. After a few more washes the RED stain on the WHITE dress was completely gone.
So if it gets on anything I'd try that method before anything else.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness! I am laughing out loud at the pictures of Brooklyn.
I always have plant materials in my laundry. Comes from having the laundry room right by the back door and having a landscaper husband. Drives me batty.
Love the zombie look. My baby (2-yr. old, youngest of 5) told me yesterday that "I shoot you and you die." The youngest of a big brood picks up these gems at a tender age, doesn't she?
Thanks for the laugh! I love those camera surprises... although I must say, none of ours have been quite as 'creative'? :D
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those pictures are hilarious!
She is, a blue faced pirate who is half mummy and half ninja. And has an extremely wavy hair so that she can be on the new Aussie hair commercials...;)
I actually appreicate the kids who dressed Brooklyn like this. i think it took a lot of team work and cooperation to create this masterpiece! and Dawn, good job at recognizing that's Brooklyn! For a sec, it did creep me out!

Lol. The pics of Brooklyn remind me of pics I find on my camera from time to time of my kids!
First time commenter, long time reader! Isn't it amazing what we find in the washer and the internal memory of our camera! Love the picture of Brooklyn! Kinda like a smurfy munchkin!
;-). Cool pictures.
My two year old, who's sitting on my lap, thinks these pictures are great, she just loves them -- uaaaah, but this is talking about the toddler who picks up a stick from the ground and says: "knive!"
Too funny!! I remember the days. Never knew what color the laundry was going to come out on any given day, nevermind what was going to come out with it if you didn't go through it with a fine-toothed comb first. Then heaven forbid one of the kids toys get destroyed in the wash..OMG!!! Who's to blame for that one? Oh yes, I remember the days and I remember them all too well, with all four of my kids.
UGH!!! Disposible diapers in the washer! That gooey gel stuff NEVER comes off the clothes!!!
On her, it looks cute.
Thank you for my morning laugh! I wonder what she will think about that years from now...
Too funny ... I have an old picture of my son, who was about three at the time. His sister and her friend had dressed him up as a ballerina, complete with high heels and a fairy princess wand (kind of the reverse of your 'evil' dress up story! lol.)
I see blackmail in his future.

Wow, that's a pretty impressive haul -- but at least you're getting paid! ;)
So does a Nintendo game survive being washed?
Also, may I recommend checking clothes for stickers? The chiro gives the wee ones stickers each time we go, and only about 20% of the time do the wee ones take them off before putting them in the wash. A washed sticker on clothing is a nightmare. The sticky gunk NEVER comes off. *sigh*
Oh. My. GOSH! I am laughing os hard right now! My 3-year-old daughter just asked me "Mommy why does that widdle boy have a blue face?"
Hah, well Iv made a point now to check all pockets in my laundry...otherwise certain things might get ruined. The husband is notorious for leaving pens in his pocket.
Crayons are the worst.
Cute cherub. You must be proud!!!
My kids are 20 and 11 and I've mostly got them trained to empty their pockets. Mostly. My 42 year old brother, however, was here a few weeks ago and did a load of his laundry. When he left I found his spare car key and a wad of wet kleenex in the machine. I'm guessing it never really gets better.
ROFL. That picture is hilarious! Too too funny. Thanks for the giggle. :)
LOL!!!! I only have 3 kids but I find all kinds of fun things in the washer and dryer and of course they usually say it is not theirs! Unless of course it is rocks then that was the rock they picked up to add to the million others they have in their "collection"!!! I have washed a DS game once and we waited for it to dry out and put it in the game and it still works. Indiana Jones just needed a good washing!!! LOL
Heh- the ace bandages were probably to make her look like a mummy too!
HILARIOUS!! Thanks for the good laugh to begin my day.
OH MY GOD DAWN!!! I am laughing my head off!!!!! Those pics are PRICELESS!!!!! BWAAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!!
LOVE the pictures of Brooklyn!!!!
The photos of Brooklyn had me in tears, I was laughing so hard.
LOL! I wouldn't think she would be able to raise her arms!
And it is good of you to support her no matter what she wants to be when she grows up....even if it is a phycho killer, zombie, pirate wrapped in Ace bandages with bad hair. ;-)

No, she's a mummy-pirate, rockstar-crimal, blue-man-group back up singer. There is a multi-tasking girl!
i just read the section of your book with the disposable diapers in the wash, so this post got me laughing again. i can't even imagine dealing with all those little gel balls. its bad enough trying to wipe them off a baby's bottom when i've let them stay in one diaper a little too long! thanks for the laughs!
I constantly find little rocks in my machine. My son has a playground at school with rocks covering it. he "collects" them.
That picture is freaking hilarious!
Something mysterious was knocking around in my dryer today, and I don't even WANT to know what it was. And to think, I only have a husband to deal with! I can't imagine the treasure trove you get in your dryer every week.
Michelle asked:
So does a Nintendo game survive being washed?
That IS a good question! So, does it?
So long,
Corinna
Ok, laughing so hard I couldn't read anymore!
What I think is the most precious is that you could tell which kid it is....mine did stuff like this and I had to identify the kid on the old camera by the furniture and color of the walls....sigh
The zombie child is soooo funny! I was laughing out loud!! That is priceless! You need to keep that for when Brooklyn starts dating! ha ha!
I have been getting pull ups in the wash lately! Talk about gross! I have had rocks, paper, gum, lipstick, video games, toys, etc, etc! But there is nothing worse than a pull up! UGH!
That is the funniest picture of Brooklyn. I can imagine a smile from ear to ear under that mask!
Did any fruit snacks escape and make it in to the dryer? I sure hope not!!
You clearly asked the wrong question... the question was not who had them in their pocket. The question was who stashed them in the laundry hamper!
Oh my Goodness-- those pictures are HILARIOUS (and a little bit freaky all at the same time)!!!! Did you not just crack up so bad when you saw them??? Thanks for the laugh!
PS- I find the strangest things in my laundry, too- and most of it doesn't make sense either.
Maybe the dryer magically turns those missing socks into fruit snacks.
Lol @ Brooklyn that made my morning.
Cristy
ROFL, Brooklyn looks way too funny!
I know everyone else said it...but ohmygosh that is too funny. I love you. Thanks for the laugh!
What??! You've never heard of Serial Killer Smurf? LMAO on this one! Save this idea for Halloween next year. WHenever I'm having a bad day I just have to look at this blog.
I LOVE IT when my kids steal the camera and later I find all sorts of odd photos on the memory card.
Still laughing as I think of Brooklyn's photo. did you even know it was her? And I'm very impressed at the other kids ace bandange wrapping skills. Have they had first aid training? My last ER doctor didn't even do as good a job as Brooklyn has on her legs!
Oh, belated thanks for the book i won in your last give a way :) . I got it, Jumped once for joy, then made my confused husband take pictures of me opening the package and smelling it to see if Chicago smelled different. (which it did not) I'm enjoying you book SLOWLY, because I don't want it to end...it's like group thereapy for mothers of big families :)
Love ya Dawn! Hope you're over the cold/flu.
Rachel
In reference to the person who left the candy in the pocket. That would be your seventh child, "NOT ME". :)
You know, if you checked the pockets before you put stuff in the washing machine, this wouldn't happen. ;-) If I had checked the pockets of my kids' pockets recently, I wouldn't have washed the new neato Star Trek toy that came in the Rice Krispies (not that we ever eat cereal for breakfast -- I *always* cook from scratch), the merit badge card that had all the signatures on it so my son can get that merit badge (yeah, now, he can get it right after he does everything all over again) and the Speed Racer Mach 5 which came out the best of all the items. BTW, email me if you ever want to know how to remove melted crayon from your dryer drum. I full of good advice on that one too.
