Odd

Like most people (I hope), I find some odd things while sorting laundry. Tonight I found the following in the pockets of Robert's jeans:

rock
quarter
Lego person head
AAA battery
pencil top eraser
empty Milky Way wrapper
half a yellow crayon
rubber band
green froot loop (uncrushed)
and.... drum roll...
a clove of garlic

Perhaps it's Halloween related. Whatever the case, I'm glad I checked the pockets before throwing them in the washer/dryer.

How about you? What crazy things have turned up in the laundry at your house?

What happened?

Earlier this afternoon, Colleen had her first experience with an Oreo cookie in quite some time. After eating two of them, she took a look at her hands and said, "I'm dirty, I have to wash my hands!"

Cate explained to her that it was cookie dust (and therefore, quite edible).

Colleen reiterated that a hand-washing would be required, thank you very much, so they went downstairs to wash. As Cate was helping her dry her hands, she said, "Colleen, do you want to see something really cool?"

Colleen: "Yes!"

Cate lifted Colleen up so she could see her face in the mirror, and she caught sight of her face -- covered in Oreo crumbs, from eyebrows to chin, covering both cheeks. She said: "What. Happened?"

That, my friends, is the result of a 3-year-old and two Oreo cookies.
