More specifically, I took stock of what I found under the couch while cleaning today. I suppose I'm fortunate than nothing can fall between the cushions, but the space under the angled couch more than makes up for that shortcoming. I also suppose I have neglected this chore for far too long.
Here's the bounty -- I feel like I could open a toystore now!
1 puzzle box (empty)
1 state of Ohio puzzle piece (and with several others found under a chair, only GA is missing now!)
3 cars
4 Tinkertoys
1 domino
3 blue monkeys
1 top of barrel of monkeys
1 globe
2 pieces of the farmhouse
1 farm door (different farmhouse)
5 Duplos, assorted colors
1 bottom of travel soap case
1 star-shaped block (yellow)
3 Meccano nuts & bolts
1 baby hairbrush (what can I say, I can't bear to brush Noah's curls)
1 stick (useful for pulling other items out from under the couch)
1 wooden train smokestack (blue)
1 KinderEgg rabbit
1 Ikea train car
1 Ikea train car (freight)
1 baby sock (only about 11 others missing now)
1 VHS tape
1 book
1 pink bag
1 battery (rechargeable)
1 snail teething ring (that's how we know we're in France)
2 wooden blocks
1 top of can that used to contain an elephant keychain
1 road barrier
1 cup
1 Elmo finger puppet
1 sheep
2 pieces of gate
1 giraffe puzzle piece
1 screwdriver
1 panther
1 colored pencil (green)
For a grand total of 53 items!
While I was engaged in such important and fascinating activites, Frederic and the boys were working outside.
 |
| Frederic worked on clearing out some of the flowerboxes in the retaining wall and planting new things in them. |
 |
| This is a "yet-to-be-done" part, to give you an idea of what he was facing at the start. (Speaking of chores that have been neglected for far too long.) |
 |
| Benjamin took great pleasure in washing Frederic's bicycle. |
 |
| And Noah didn't really work, he just sat around looking cute. |
