    Random stuff you find in your shoes.

    One of the things that they never warn you about being a parent is that your shoes will be put into service as garages, train stations and stables.
    In the last month or so I have found horses, dinosaurs, a golf ball and a train in my shoes.
    What is your haul?

    My problem isn't stuff, but little feet. My shoes tend to wander about the house by themselves.

    add to that used as treasure troves.
    DS likes to hide rocks, drill bits off his drill, coins, stuff he's pinched from DD.

    I'm in the habit now of checking shoes for things that go missing. And DH wears size 15 so lots can get "lost" in his shoes.

    I have the same problem Marydean .... my shoes walk away with little feet inside them! Too cute, but when you're rushing about at 6 in the morning and can't find a matching pair.......

    I'm always finding stickers in my shoes after I take them off. Moo sticks them on my socks

    Maybe it's the difference between little girls and boys, but my shoes go missing all the time. I swear DD had 5 pairs in her room the other day and I really don't have many more than that!!

    Little people figurines. All the time.

    Toy cars. Like the matchbox ones.

    And recently - toast crusts. DS wanders off with the crust and before I can catch him he's stashed it somewhere.

    Food left overs, particularly cheese sticks. DD2 likes to put her dummies in my Ugg's - ewwww.
    Our shoes are also fairy castles, magic flying carpets and underwater castles! xx

    Balls. Blocks. Cars. But not for ages, he seems to have lost interest in them as a stashing spot and now just wants to wear them. He'd wear multiple pairs at once if it were possible. (Which it is in some specific combinations but shhhhh...)

    A rotten potato. Although that doesn't compete with a toad.
