This is one of the first days I thought of when deciding to do this Summer of Books! I put it towards the end of the summer so I could have something to look forward too. We love this book. Again, it is a Mo Willems book, he also wrote "Don't let the Pigeon Drive the Bus".
We had so much fun on Thursday, reading this book, taking our favorite blankets and stuffed animals to the Laundomat to clean them up a bit.
(Lame, I know, that I have to tell you this, but in the book the illustrations are black and white photographs with draw characters. I love it, so I tried to recreate it with my photos, I kept the twins in color and made the background black and white... told you cause you can't really tell!)

While drying we...
   |
had cart races, pushed lots of buttons, and climbed in and out of the washers and dryers.
We were the only ones in there, so I let them go crazy!

We even stopped the fun to watch our friends in the spin cycle!

Finally clean!
9 love notes:
You photo trick isn't lame;I think it looks cool.
And I love the sock monkeys. I have red and turquoise pajama pants with sock monkeys all over them. (I knew you'd appreciate the color scheme.)
I saw the cutest elephant and donkey made from the same socks on a blog somewhere. Love. Did you make the twins' monkeys?
