Daily Findings

I have realized lately in my daily doings, as I go about the house, I collect things that have migrated to odd places (courtesy of Miss Kate) and return them to their usual residence without much thought. I decided I should start taking photos of some as I know this stage will pass all too quickly and I'll forget about it. Although I must confess I would just as soon forget some... for instance... We try to keep the bathroom doors shut at all times since Miss Kate has been caught churning her little fist in the toilet before...and has also found it a convenient place to drop things into. (She loves water)

What's in YOUR toilet???

At least it had only been a day or two since the last cleaning, but still... UGH!

I never know what I might find in my kitchen drawers and cupboards...

The can of olives(or the tomato paste) is her favorite thing to steal from the pantry because of the convenient size.(small enough to hang onto)

And the toy hot dog has found its way into the pantry numerous times.

I find all manner of things in the bath tub, usually a toy and or some clothes...but today it was my kitchen towel.

I keep a basket of basic travel supplies for company in case they forget something, and this is Miss Kates favorite thing to get into. She will spread its contents hither and yon putting a shampoo bottle here, a toothbrush there and some dental floss and lotion somewhere in between. I found this shampoo and toothpaste on her shoe shelf.

...And if your wondering where the missing tennis shoe is...you might check one of the kitchen cupboards.


Well, look who's in the kitchen once again...

Finding her cans of choice from the pantry

and hauling them away to the living room to mix in with all the other toys...

..Or leave them neatly lined up on the coffee table. (Occasionally she surprises me.) :)

How bout we take em for a ride in the dolly stroller...

At least it keeps her busy...
until she comes across something more interesting.

(when she walked back out of the bedroom she stepped on the olive can and it slipped across the floor under her foot and she ended up taking a hard seat on the floor. I told her it was her own fault when she whined about it. Such a mean mommy.) :)

Unloading the clothes drawer is always exciting.A favorite pasttime of hers.

She loves to gather an armful of shirts and wander around stuffing them in odd places...or drape them around her shoulders like a scarf.

Just leaving them in the middle of the kitchen is fun too. :)

Always check the garbage cans before emptying them. They are a handy place to drop treasures into.

And sometimes she wanders around collecting choice objects into a grocery sack. For some reason she likes to pick up random things and put them somewhere else that apparently seems a better place for them to her. I guess she watches me tidy up the house too often and that is what it appears i am doing...just moving things from one place to another. :)

Often I find things stuffed in Mr Wise Guys shoes...they're nice and big so lots of things fit in them... ;) She frequently stuffs her socks into our shoes but a few times i have found this too...

I'll spare you any photos (though i do have some) of her other love... that of finding any loose panties, clean or dirty, and wearing them about her neck(by sticking her head through a leg hole)...or on her head like a hat. She is very proud of the fact that she can pull them on and off from around her neck by herself. At least she keeps the days from getting boring, leaving so many surprises around for me. :)
