What's Under Your Couch?


Somehow we lost the playing board for our Candy Land game yesterday so we figured it was time to do the dreaded "get all the junk out from under the couch" technique, thinking that maybe it had slid under the couch.  One of the joys of having wood floors I guess=).

You would have thought that Christmas arrived in our household again last night with the squeals of glee and the excited jumping around that occurred after we swept it all out in a pile.  It really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be...but we still can't find the playing board.

Here's what we found:
  • Pens
  • Crayons
  • Matchbox Cars
  • Stickers
  • Playing Cards
  • Hair Rubberbands
  • Candy Corn
  • A Plastic French Fry
  • Army guys
  • Stickers
  • Hair Clips
  • A Remote Control for a DVD player that we no longer even have
  • A Couple Pennies
  • A Coloring Book
  • Some Of Areyna's "art"
  • LOTS of dustballs and other nasty"ness"
  • The BLUE playing piece to Candyland, but NO playing board=)
So, what have you found lurking under your couch lately?

Dust bunnies! We have hardwood floors too but I just cleaned under the couch not too long ago. Usually I just find random toys.

I'm loving the bazooka Army Man. Those guys haven't changed in 40 years!

Hope all is well and proceeding nicely! I see the 'nesting phase' has kicked in already.

God bless.
