Real Legitly Awesome

Anna: Yesterday Amber, Lexie, and I did our own laundry... by hand!!!! It was really awesome but hard. It took forever. Having to rub on the soap, flip the shirt over and rub on more soap, then put soap on the inside. Having to rub it up and down on the bumps and rinse it out. Then we had to ring out all the water before hanging it on the clothes line. It was crazy. But real awesome.

LEXIE!!: ok. so i would call this a major culture shock. having to do a washing machines job was hard. i will forever feel bad for the washer. but that's not the point. I apparently wasn't doing it right because andrea had to keep doing it haha(: but i think i did ok. ha! we had to hang them on the line. and with our luck, it rained that night. so we all had to run out and get our shirts. ha(: my dad got really into it. he about rubbed a hole into his shirt. (not really, i'm being dramatic....yeah i said it.) francis and her mom were laughing at him. he legitly scrubbed. his shirt was whiter than it was before he got it dirty. ha! that's only because francis did most of the work. haha guys will never change(;

AMBER!!!!!!! (lexie loves this chick):

Uhh, okay. So I was being nice and let the other girls go first on writing on this. But they covered most of it. Well, what they didn't get was my side, the best side of the story. After watching Mark do his shirt, I thought, "OH. This will be easy enoughh!" Yeah, it wasn't. It really worked your arms! Andrea had to do my shirts because I guess I do it wrong! I thought I did pretty good. The soap was the hardest part because it got all slippery and stuff!! It was insanely difficult to keep the soap in your hand when washing it!! Not very fun. It also hurt your back bending over like that for a long time. I couldn't even imagine doing that for a whole family!! I couldn't even do 2 shirts right! Man, it really showed me how lucky we are to have all the stuff we have. Like dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, CLEAN, RUNNING water! Everything. I'm so lucky. And I have a new appreciation for the things I own. Man, I'll never look at a washing machine again and think "LAME! I have to put stuff in the dryer! Or washer!" Now I'll think, "YES! I have a washer and dryer to put my clothes in!" And I thank God for all this. :)
