  1. Thank god he brought a change of underwear, because nowhere on that list did I see Port-O-Potty.

    PS - Sounds of Sodor Rocks Hard. Sir Toppum Hat wails on the drums.

  6. It's amazing the things they find to hide in there. Why are the flashlights always left On?
    Good thing you found the key!

  8. Isn'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.

  11. Hey! 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.
