Thank god he brought a change of underwear, because nowhere on that list did I see Port-O-Potty.
ReplyDeletePS - Sounds of Sodor Rocks Hard. Sir Toppum Hat wails on the drums.
Oh, goodie! you found the car keys!
ReplyDeleteIt's the underpants that worry me just a bit.
ReplyDeleteAnd you found the phone. What a beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteThanks Juli. That phone is my nemesis. The quilt was handmade by my great grandmother and I adore it!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing the things they find to hide in there. Why are the flashlights always left On?
ReplyDeleteGood thing you found the key!
"Mom, I need my own place I think. It wont be far and I will still come over for dinner and do laundry if that's ok"
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny that we call them forts? Why is that? Some sort of holdover term from revolutionary times? Anyway, the "fort" is a blessing and a curse in our house. He loves to build and play in them but I'm SO done with folding up ALL our blankets and returning pillows to their appropriate bedrooms.
ReplyDeletelets be honest, is it really a "wooden" hot dog or a hot dog that got lost in the fort and is so old it looks like it's wooden:)
ReplyDeleteDo not want to do the sniff test on "wooden" hot dog.
ReplyDeleteHey! That's more than I took to my first apartment. But it sounds like he's got all the important stuff covered. You may not see him for a few days, so make sure you leave fresh water out.
