Perpetual Scavenger Hunt

These days Carson is perfecting the art of hide and seek. Only problem is, it is not the ordinary game you may be familiar with, and unfortunately all the participants didn't choose to play in his game. Lately, he has been picking up odd objects from around the house and "hiding" them. Crazy things like my parents' van keys in their dishwasher (yep, they were washed and thankfully the lock remote still worked), the TV remote was found in the pantry under the bread, a Lego horse was hidden in his new boot and traveled to AR, a baggie full of toy balls was thrown in the dirty laundry, and his shoe was in a kitchen cabinet.

The hard part about this game is that it doesn't help to think about where you might hide something because logic does not play a part at all in their placement. The more random places you look the closer you might be to finding it... maybe if you're lucky. So word of advice to those that might visit.... hang on to your valuables because we can't guarantee their safety in our home. :)

I'm not sure, but I think this may be a strategy meeting for the next scavenger hunt.


Today I am thankful that most of the items have been found or at least I think so. Who knows what has just gone missing as I have been writing this post.
