9 Things Behind My Couch

I had 40 minutes until the kids came home and I was following up on the ultimatum I had issued 2 days before.  When Abby got hurt from tripping over toys on Saturday night I said these words:

“If you would pick-up this wouldn’t happen!  I am going to clean Monday and if it’s not picked up I will be taking care of it for you.”

So there I was with 32 minutes to go when I decided to pull the couch down a few inches so I could access the bottom of the bookshelf.  And - Oh! - what a “treasure” I found…

• A pile of legos…and I do mean a PILE!
• 1 pink sock
• 1 of Micah’s socks
• Micah’s missing shirt…that I’ve been wondering about for over a week now.
• The missing TV remote control
• A book
• A pad of Post-It notes
• A large dress-up scarf
• Wrapper for a pack of crackers

So now I am sitting here wondering, what have YOU found behind your couch lately?
