Random toys in random places...

My dear daughter loves the way I clean. She thinks I do an amazing job sweeping, moping, dusting, scrubing, and can't wait for me to bring the vacuum out. She admires my technique at organizing and decluttering and don't even get me started on dishes and laundry!!

She loves it, well at least this is what I think, because she sure makes enough messes and disasters for me to clean during the day, she MUST really love the way I clean! 

I know that this is just "kids being kids" but I swear some days Carebear does things just to watch me clean up afterwards! LOL

One of her favourite games she plays is "hide the toys so Mommy can find them and put them away for me". She likes this game so much that she plays it EVERY DAY!!! 

I'm always finding little toys in random places, and have to wonder what was going through her head at the time. Did she plan on putting that toy there? Was she playing when something came up and she left them there?


 I'm sure sometimes it's forgetfulness, or maybe these spots are safe places for her treasures,  but it always makes me chuckle to myself when I discover some random toy in some random place! 

Today I found these two in my pantry, just sitting there, looking at me, no kid in sight!

My thoughts drifted to;
1) What was she doing in the pantry?
2) Why did she leave them in there?

 and

3) Did she take anything out in exchange??

Yes, my darling daughter loves to add a bit more work to my already busy day, by helping "put her toys away" in random places!

Little does she know that as she gets older and older, she'll have to start to help put them in their proper place! :) Muahahahaa (evil Mom laugh) - yes there is such a thing as an evil Mom laugh! :) 


And yes, I know, soon B-Man will be joining this game!!

What I'm Passionate about ~ part two ~ Creativity

Another thing that I am passionate about is being creative! I love to create and make things. Either for the holidays, or for fun, I love to paint, draw, and craft!
I don't get to do it as often as I used to but it's still one of my favourite things!
I usually get totally emersed in my art when I get the chance to do it! Hours can drift by without notice as I paint or draw!
It has always been a huge part of my life. Being creative!!
I love to come up with neat things for the holidays! Halloween being my favourite! Interesting costumes or things to hang on the walls!
Doing craft time with the kids, even if they are too young to really enjoy them yet!
