Sissy came home from school with an old 35 mm film canister to fill up with coins and send back to school. They are having their annual Mini Relay for Life. She was so excited about it that the first thing she did when we got home from school was fill it up with her money. Fast forward to the next morning. The canister was MIA. I helped her look for it because I knew she would never find it on her own. She is just like my husband. If it is not slapping her in the face, she can't find it. She informed me that BubbaJ had probably gotten it, so I searched all of his frequent hiding spots, but came up empty-handed. Sissy said, "I wish BubbaJ was a real boy, so he could tell me where he put it."
I finally told her that she would just have to take it to school the next day, so I would have time to find it. She sadly obeyed. I am not kidding you, not two minutes after BubbaJ and I got home from dropping the girls off, he was walking around shaking that canister to hear the sound it made. I have no idea where it was, but he obviously remembered exactly where he had put it the night before. I'm pretty sure he's a "real boy" and a pretty smart boy at that.

Geocaching
First, I want to say that I got absolutely nothing accomplished today. I spent the entire day playing with my kids. I don't do that very often because the OCD side of me can't let my housework go for a day. So, please no visitors tonight because my house is a mess.
I heard about geocaching from Erin, but she didn't have very good luck. It is like a scavenger hunt. Here is a link that will explain it all www.geocaching.com. So I decided to start with the really easy ones. The first one, Sissy found by herself. She was so proud. Then we couldn't find the next one. It was a nano which are apparently about the size of a quarter=very hard to find. Sissy ended up finding the next one too, so then we went for one Precious could find. In the end Sissy found two and Precious found one and we couldn't find two. The day was a huge success. Even BubbaJ had fun running around while the girls hunted.
We will be doing this again. Hopefully as a family outing sometime.
