Lost & Found

Many of my things seem to be disappearing these days.    They just up & walk away.  I know that one of my munchkins have taken them, but I am not sure which one.  I can safely rule out Ryan, but of the two bigger boys… they are quick to deny knowing anything about ’said’ object. 

Tonight while they were in the bathtub I scurried around the house to pick up.   

Here is what I found under Hiding Place #1 (the secret drawer under their bed):

• Some of my breast pads
• Cotton balls
• Cups
• Baby Books I had been trying to put in Ryan’s room
• Stuffed animals that I had decorated Ryan’s room with
• Flashlights
• Medicine cups and dispensers (no not the medicine itself)

Then I moved downstairs and started organizing Hiding Place #2 (the toy closet).  

This is about the time I wanted to call the cops to come and pick up the little thieves that live underneath my roof.    I found:

• The wine stoppers that we use when suctioning a wine bottle closed
• Then I found the wine suction gadget.  
• I found my pie scooper
• My pizza roller
• The tool I use to ice cakes
• An attachment to my Dyson vacuum
• More flashlights
• My saucepan
• Lids to my Calphalon pots
• Tupperware
• and more
• and more
• and more

I think I am going to start hiding their stuff and see how they like it.

Wait.  I already know how that will turn out.

They won’t be able to find it and inevitably will ask me to find it for them.
