We’ve been line drying clothes for at least 2 years now. It’s pretty easy in the spring, summer, and fall. But more difficult in the winter. It’s not like I’m hanging laundry for just Jim and me – I’m hanging for a family of 10!

So we use a lot of drying racks. And just like everything in our household, they break. Jim and Colter spent some time this afternoon, disassembling and reassembling drying racks.

I love watching them work together. Jim is such a great teacher and Cole is so serious and capable.

They managed to get 5 complete drying racks out of all their pieces. That may not seem like much of an accomplishment to some, but they did it amidst much chaos. They had little feet running through their work area. And little fingers picking up and playing with all their pieces. (Drying rack rods make great spears, don’t you know?!)

But, I must say, from my perspective, the best part was the fact that they not only put together the drying racks, but they hung the wet laundry on them, as well!

Wow!
