What Does Your Kid Stick In Their Pocket? Laundry Treasures

Ever since a red crayon melted in the dryer onto one of Tim's new favorite shirts there is a consistent conversation that mostly happens after the fact - after we find  miscellaneous "things" under the wet clothes in the washer.

Now if we could only train ourselves to remember to first check pockets and then get undressed.  I need to acknowledge that we're still working on it - plus it's much more exciting to find change and bills which I get keep instead of holding my breath and hoping it's not my clothes when I see a string from melted gum or notice a glob of chocolate from a left over cookie.

Over the past wave of laundry I put the laundry treasures on the counter and took a picture (before the camera broke - see previous post).

I found:

• money
• a blue plastic cube - not sure what from
• the red tube and 4 colored beads from the magic trick box on Eli's birthday
• a semi melted green and a black hollow rubber ball which I have no idea what they are from
• multiple mostly broken sea shells from our Vashon Island Weekend - I actually had to vacuum the washer in between loads to get the many small broken pieces out
• a wrench from a lego set
• plastic money
• a white rock

Needless to say Eli is a collector at heart and his pockets are one of his favorite stow away spots.
