Slowly But Surely, The Lost Is Found

Found today:
The missing car key (last seen on the buffet in the foyer)
Magnifying Glass (last seen in the kitchen)
Buzz Lightyear sunglasses (last seen on the buffet in the foyer)
talking picture frame (last seen in K's possession)

Yeah I know, I didn't add some of those to the ever growing missing list from a few weeks back. What was the point> It seemed every time I turned around we were unable to locate something else.

It would seem we have a minor kleptomaniac on our hands. A while back, K developed a backpack obsession, which is still going strong. Apparently he has been walking around the house picking up things of interest, putting them in his backpack of choice (he has many!) and then, apparently, forgetting he ever saw them, let alone had them in his hands.

Today's discovery came from a backpack which had been left in the garage among the many (and I do mean many) toys that live in the garage and rotate in and out of the house. This particular backpack (which we got in Disneyland) hasn't been in the house in a while. Makes me wonder what he has in all the other packs. Usually it's just kid stuff...lots of papers (he is also obsessed with papers) but maybe there are a few hidden treasures to be found.

Ah the joy of being four.
