Socks and Stuff

Riley and Shannon are off camping with Anna, and if things go sour, she might come home with the boys for a sleep over at our house. Being that Anna is a girl, and therefore a little selective as to what she will sit on when using the potty, (IE: boys' pee, slide-offs, and the like,) I decided that it would be a good time to clean a few bathrooms and straighten up the basement. It was ugly.

It's amazing what you can find in an area of the house where only little boys dwell. For instance, lately Corey's become sufficiently obsessed with socks. He fills them up with noisy miniature toys, swings them around, or just hides them in the basement apparently. I found seven socks down there, some with toys, some without. Almost all of them are Shannon's nice Wilson brand socks (these things are impossible to destroy!) which appear to be Corey's sock of choice.

I also located two pairs of underwear, a pair of shorts, two gnawed up apple cores, two pairs of sandals we hadn't been able to find in weeks, a torn up Yahtzee game, 60 destroyed birthday balloons I'd been saving, two living room throw pillows, numerous piece of chalk, five hot wheels in the bathroom sink, and miscellaneous food wrappers scattered about. Do I need to mention that we'd cleaned the basement thoroughly less than two weeks ago?

Did you find any poo? Spencer wants to know if you've found the missing log.

No missing log, but I did find a suspicious looking brown smear on the baseboard of the main stairwell. ("Hi, welcome to our home. Let the poo on the wall of our main entrance be a warning for what to expect should you choose to enter our home...")

Needless to say, I ended up scrubbing all the baseboards, railings and walls in the stairwell.
