I think we have a monster in our house. He must live in or near the dryer. This monster has one purpose and one purpose only; to steal socks. And I think I can limit it to Noah's socks. There is no other way to explain why every time I do Noah's laundry I have less and less pairs of socks. Plenty of singles, hardly any matches. I am convinced that it must be because of the sock monster. So I'm looking for advice, how do I rid my house of the sock monster? Any advice would be most helpful...
Noah and I had a great day today. We went and painted pottery for Grant's Father's Day gift. (Shh, don't tell Grant. He doesn't read the blog, but if he finds out I'm blaming all of you! ;-) ) Anyway, it was quite the experience. We went with Miesje and Coen (so don't tell Cameron, either!) and it was a lot of fun! The boys even got to finger paint! I meant to take some pictures, but no such luck. You'll just have to wait 'til I pick up the mug on Tuesday for pictures :) After we were fnished we went and got some ice cream. I think Noah must have thought it was his birthday all over again. What a spoiled little boy :p
Nothing else too exciting to report. It was a non-stop day (I even went back to work when we got back this afternoon). I've been tired and hadn't realized 'til today that maybe it was because I haven't been home any afternoon this week. I'm looking forward to a little bit of quiet this weekend.
Alright, I'm out of here. No promises on how on top of things I'll be this weekend, but I'm hoping to stay on top of things. Until then, enjoy the pictures!

Sarah knows all about the sock monster. I believe it was Ms. Miller @ St. Joe's who discussed the sock monster at great length because her house is blessed with one too. The truly interesting activity of the sock monster is that the day after you throw away all of the singles that you have, the sock monster will begin to return the mates! Perhaps you can figure out a way to trick the sock monster into believing you have thrown out the singles - but be careful I don't know what a sock monster does if it becomes angry. (I hope the sock monster doesn't read the blog, either!)
Well, sock monsters used to live in washers and dryers in the old days. So the trick was to connect the mates before they went into the washer. Get you one of those plastic thingie guns like they use on clothes price tags. You can get them @ Joanns. You just put the needle thru the tops of the mates and shoot. Then when they come out of the dryer, clip the plastic thingie. Love you, ckb
