Look and Find

I have written a lot about losing things and finding them again. I feel as though this subject is ruling my days. 

I thought I had a pebble in my shoe over the weekend. When I looked to see it, I turned my boot over and found EvieG's lucky penny! I made a wish on it too because that is what you are supposed to do. Hubby and I will randomly look and find various objects hidden around the house. In our boots and shoes, in a cupboard, or drawer, we will find things.

Hubby went to put on his shoe for work and found a lovely gold beaded necklace. He returned it to The Destroyer who put it around her neck along with the four others dangling all shiny like.

I will be on the hunt for a favourite stuffed animal friend, or sippy cup and always find it strategically put away. I have found Doggy stuffed in the microwave of the toy kitchen. Rosie, Spark Plug's kitty was in with the light bulbs at one point and EvieG's Lovesy was hanging with the extra packages of diaper wipes. 

I have discovered long lost soothers in my own pockets of jackets I haven't worn in 2 seasons. I will stick my hand in and almost always pull out Kleenexes and a crusty soother that has Kleenex shrapnel all over it. Or I will find a soother on the floor behind the change table. Somehow it has fallen from The Destroyer's mouth and ends up playing with the dust bunnies until someone takes a look under there and pulls it out, along with toys, crayons, and a framed photo that didn't quite make it to the floor, but instead got wedged between the dresser and the wall.

Recently, I have found socks under the seats of the van that I thought the dryer ate up. The socks were stuck to an old lollipop stick and was sitting next to a stale animal cracker and broken crayon. 

I have to make sure I am careful when I vacuum. I don't want to suck something up that is important. I have done that before. I have nightmares that one of the Wee Ladies is going to find my wedding rings and put them in a place it can be sucked up, or flushed. 

Who needs an organized scavenger hunt when we have one every day? The only thing we need to improve on is the list. We should write down all lost items and things we are looking to find, make up teams and send everyone on their merry way. What a great family activity! 
Find: 

-one purple sock with heart
-one beaded bracelet
-one stuffed fish
-one pink mitten
-one Olympic quarter
-one health card
-one package of cookies
-one dog

It is important to remember the rules of the game. Cars can be used. You never know when you might find a missing object on the side of the highway, like we did last week (see post below). You can certainly go outside and look in all rooms and under couches and cushions. There is nothing out of bounds because with three Wee Ladies, a Hubby, and a Wee Westie, these things could be anywhere.

I found a missing toque by the cedar bush after the snow had melted. I had wondered where it had gone.

I currently have one purple sippy cup missing. I looked in the van already. But I haven't checked their rooms yet. Maybe I should because I found the last sippy cup full of snail shells.

All's I'm sayin's all.
