Just when we thought we knew all of their tricks....



So I thought I knew all of the tricks and hiding places for clean up time. I thought I was so smart. To be outsmarted by your kids brings mixed feelings. I have hidden things under beds and in closets and drawers but this takes the cake. They found that the liner under the box spring on Chloe's bed was loose and starting to come off in one corner so they "helped it along". Then they hid toys in the boxspring. Their only mistake was "helping" the liner too much and putting things that were too heavy in there. I looked under the bed and saw something bulging. I thought one of the pieces of wood had broken so I pushed it up so that I could get a feel for what it was. I felt something round and some other things made jingling noises. You will notice in one of the pictures that Jared is holding the round tube and there is the pile of toys that they hid. In the picture of Chloe you can see the liner that she is on top of. I tried not to laugh. I was kind of proud of them too for being creative enough to think of this elaborate hiding place. I had to take a minute to take pictures before I could get stern enough to talk to them about it.
