An interesting part of having kids is that nothing is yours anymore and it is anyone’s guess where your stuff can end up.  For instance, the other evening I decided to make my dentist proud and floss my teeth.  Hmmm.  The dental floss was no where to be found in the drawer it usually calls home.  The next day we get in the car..and sitting on the passenger seat is the dental floss..

Exhibit A

I remember Tyler finding these magnets (”Look Mom, they’re Santa’s!”) the other day and mumbling something about taking them to a safe place or them being tired.  The next morning, this is where I found the Santa’s - snuggling with the Octopus.  (and yes, it would be rude to comment on the dirty state of Mr. Octopus!)  Oh, and I should mention that this is the last picture of the top Santa as he met his demise with the vacuum cleaner earlier today.  I guess he had decided to head for an adventure off Mr. Octopus and didn’t get the memo about weekly Friday morning vacuum run.

Exhibit B

Tyler ran off with my not yet finished knitted horse yesterday evening.  When I asked him where the horse was before he went to bed, he said he was on the table.  I looked on all things that I call tables around the house, but didn’t find him.  Then this morning, my eyes located him…shoved into a bridge on Tyler’s train table.

These little ocurrences make me laugh my ass off and are some of the little things that bring a huge grin to my face in the midst of the challenging task of raising children.  I am learning to relish these great moments!
