Where is the forlorn "starfish" library book this morning?
We haven't the slightest clue.
Here are the clues we do know (according to our most clever kindergartner, M):
*the book was in the big boys' room (we've been reading it all week)
*M then carried it to J's room
*it was given to J to appease him in his crib
*it was then taken away because J started to tear pages
*afterward it found its way to "the closet by the flowers in Mommy and Daddy's room between the black and brown pants" (??)
*he then moved it to the 3rd floor "under Gramz and Pappy's bed"
*from there, we get a little murky... as if things were crystal clear to begin with! :) lol
Are you imagining us this morning running around the house to all these hiding places?
Classic parenthood at its greatest.
"Try to remember where you hid it after there," we urged.
"I can't remember because it was so many days ago" he replied.
Then GG and I had to quell the tears of a most sad little kindergartner, who went off to school while mommy continues to search and he attempts to remember...
Alas, I'm fearing the worst for the poor starfish. lol.
It is a true G-Ville mystery.
If only we had Gramz here--she can find anything! :)
St. Anthony, patron saint of lost things (who Mimi says has given her a "do not disturb" warning for all of her pestering--lol), pray for us!
Blessings on a Thursday,

Oh my, I'm itching to search your house. First check every nook and cranny/closet on the third floor. Poor G-Ville...as if you don't have anything else to do than search for that book. Maybe the starfish got smart and headed south!
I'm loving these little slices of life from G-ville! I got a real good laugh about Custer. It made me think of Sandy and him finding deer legs along the trail in Colorado. I could also just imagine tall Custer oozing stinkiness all over the boys and the van. Yuck! At least you all were laughing...during some of it anyway. I probably would have cried and laughed.
I hope you were about to find the book! Poor M!
Thanks for your advice to plan something fun for tomorrow's BIG DAY!
