I would be getting into big trouble using the word stupid in Gracelyn's book but oh well. I have a real dilemma with socks in my house right now. I am about to resort to Papa Sam's method to match up his pairs. He takes a sharpie and marks either the alphabet or shapes onto the bottoms of each pair that way he knows which sock doesn't have it's mate. Genius in my book... I am so tired of Mason wearing Cannon's socks, Cameron wearing my socks, me wearing Cam's socks. The only person who gets their own socks is Gracelyn because they are pretty easy to tell the difference... Pink with ruffles is a dead give away most times. :) I come up with all this on laundry day. Mondays are dreaded because we go through a mountain of laundry in a week. I do some loads during the week of course but Monday is the day to get it ALL done up... So now my couch is covered and my coffee table houses the folded piles! And after it is all said and done I always have 4-5 socks without mates. Or I might have had "help" and some get mis-matched.
All I ask is that you don't make fun of any of my family members when our heals are up on our calves or Cam's dress socks are actually my knee-highs! We are aware of our problems without you pointing them out to us!

ROFL--I can totally relate! My suggestion: safety pin the socks together. That's what I do--time consuming but well worth it! :) BTW, I won't say a word if I notice anything peculiar...LOL
You are hilarious! I like the idea of the alphabet or shapes. That way the kids can help sort the socks after they come out of the dryer! Perfect! It's a "chore" and a game all in one! :)
So funny (sorry)! I have a hard time just with Tate's little socks, so I'm sure it gets harder as there are more to sort.
I think the marker idea is a good one!
How funny is that. We know what that feels like at our household except we never mistake Alexis's socks for ours! Ha!
Seriously is it an epidemic at my house...I like Melissa's idea. ~;-)
Keri, check out my blog. Have a fantastic Friday!

When you come up with a plan that works.....please let me know!!! Trying to keep 3 little girls socks straight is a nightmare! I think the wash machine is to blame. It eats socks. :D
