Squirrely

Maren has become quite the squirrel lately. Kevin's mom found a Matchbox car in her cupboards at Thanksgiving that Maren had hidden during a visit weeks before. She has also been known to hide her sippy cups, then come running to me with one in her hand that has been missing for days. I have no idea where she hides them. We really don't have a large or cluttered house where things could be easily hidden. It's quite impressive, actually.

So this afternoon I gave Maren a little bowl of Goldfish crackers and Cheerios for a snack. About two minutes later I came back to the family room to find the bowl empty. Maren has been eating a lot lately but I couldn't believe she would have put away the whole bowl in just a few minutes. So, I started looking everywhere to find where she dumped the food. After searching high and low, I finally gave up, assuming she had eaten them. Later in the evening I went to put on my Uggs and suddenly hear (and feel) a large crunch.

Mystery solved. I'm going to have to keep a better eye on this girl.
