He's found!

After yesterday, I think I still believe in miracles. I wrote yesterday about our poor little girl's stuffy being lost. Well yesterday, hubby went back to Walmart for an oil change, and checked each aisle of the store for Toutou Lapin while he waited. And low and behold, down this aisle he hadn't even been down the day before, sat Toutou Lapin, partially hidden. Hubby sent a picture of the bunny through our cell phones, and our three year old freaked out with joy. So, all's well that ends well, and thanks to everyone, through here or Facebook, who showed their support.

In all this, my three year old has learned an important lesson about losing things. She called my mother after the rabbit was found, and my mom asked her if in the future, Toutou Lapin would stay in the car. She said, "No, from now on he stays at home!" Poor kid.

Otherwise things were good yesterday for the most part. The kids have been so well behaved this holiday season. I got all their toys organized in their rooms, so there are only a handful left downstairs, and I'm hoping to get through those today. Plus, the house is relatively clean since we had a couple friends over for dessert the night before last. What a great feeling! I unfortunately haven't had much time for knitting, but that's ok - I managed to pull out the new guitar Santa brought me, and I can now play D, A and E. Or at least I could yesterday afternoon. I'll need a refresher today.

I also started teaching my three year old, who also got a guitar, the basics of how a guitar works. Her fingers will be just barely big enough, but right now, we're just working on the concept of pushing down one chord at different frets and making different sounds, so she has lots of time to grow into it!

So my only new challenge for now until I go back to work is to continue to clean and organize stuff. I want to finish in the family room, then get completely caught up with laundry. I think I have about 8 loads to wash, and by the end, I'll have about twice that many loads to put away. So I have my work cut out for me in the next 36 hours!
