Sneaky, Sneaky

Some of you may have heard these stories before, but I definitely decided they are blog-worthy. Rilyn is known for placing items in small holes, this has been occurring throughout the last year. During the season there were two incidents in particular, one was when we were having a girls game night. Us girls were busy playing Catch Phrase, while Rilyn was busy playing with my friend Larkin's puzzles and cards. One of the walls in her apartment had exposed brick, with a couple holes in it. Soon we came to realize Rilyn had been placing the puzzle pieces and cards into the little holes, which meant they were lost forever. Another time Grammy was visiting us and we were watching the baseball game from one of the stadium's suites. During the game we saw that Rilyn had gotten into Grammy's wallet and placed some of her cards down the heater vent, I think for sure a Starbucks gift card again was lost forever. Luckily, now the incidences we have had lately haven't been so unfortunate. Here is a picture of a hole that is in our closet. One day Rilyn got a hold of our cable box keys and decided to place them in the hole. I had the bright idea to try and use Rilyn's fishing pole since it was magnetic, and low and behold it worked. The keys were saved! Now, you would think we would have learned our lesson by now, but again today our little mischievous munchkin figured out how to unscrew the top of our tv stand and figured the speaker hole was a good place for them. Jeff was about to freak out on Rilyn when I assessed the situation and decided that although our hands were too big for the hole, Rilyn's hands were the perfect size. I explained to her that she need to put her hand down the hole and get the circles out. She obeyed and now we have restored harmony within the house. Let's just hope we can keep a better eye on here from now on.
