Be careful what you wish for...

Yesterday, as I was starting my 7th load of laundry, I noticed yet another piece of food being chased under the washing machine by a child. My thought: I wonder when I can get Matt to move them so I can clean out from underneath...
Fast forward a few hours. I arrive home from Book Club to discover that my husband has removed my dryer from the washing area and has the washing machine is in pieces. Apparently, sometime after I had left, Matt noticed it was making a funny noise and the water was not draining out of it. He had the back off and it didn't look like we could find anything to fix.
So, I made a quick call to Matt's father (thanks Dad!) for a little help and in two brief hours our washing machine was fixed (darn little baby socks!) and I had a very clean floor in the laundry closet. We managed to get to bed sometime after midnight.
Another bonus, we found the battery cover to our computer mouse. It has been missing for a year and a half! We had been using cardboard, but recently upgraded to a paper clip. What a happy ending.
Me taking out all the water so we could tip it and get to the bottom.

You can be come a pro at taking these things apart.
I think buying the sock holders is a great idea.
