Lost and Found...mystery solved


I couldn't resist posting this.  So, the other night we were getting ready to play a card game with the Ericksons (Canasta if anyone knows it?  I think that it is their signature game.  They beat us most of the time, but it sure is fun).  Anyway, the game requires 4 decks.  This required us to use every deck we own...including our crazy deck of Iraqi's Most Wanted (don't ask...it was a joke gift).  As we were getting ready to play, Paige was playing with the Iraqi Most Wanted deck as we shuffled the other three.  When we needed that fourth deck she no longer had it and it went missing.  We SEARCHED the house HIGH and LOW.  I mean, everywhere....couch cushions, drawers, bathroom, you name it.  It has been about 2 weeks now and we still hadn't found it, and its whereabouts remained a mystery.  Not that I loved those cards or anything, but I really wanted to know where in the world they could be.  Today, I was deep cleaning the kitchen and cleaning out under the oven.  Sure enough, pushed about a babies arm length back, was the deck of cards.  This rules out Paige as the culprit because Seth is notorious for laying on his stomach and depositing things under our oven and then fishing them out later (including cheerios and binkies...I know...gross!).  Long story, short: MYSTERY SOLVED!!!

LOL, that is hilarious. When we lose something we check Hari's office (an empty drawer in the kitchen) or if its small enough, his pockets. Seriously, he collects so much stuff in his pocket, it must be a boy thing to store things for later.
