Andy found my prized teaching portfolio that I'd been unable to locate myself (5 years worth of STUFF is in that binder, and I was dreading recreating it!). As a thanks, I brought him pink strawberry cheesecake Jelly Bellies.
Friday evening, we were all sitting in the living room, cuddling and playing on the couch, snacking on Jelly Beans. I remember Andy sealing the bag and putting them on the back of the couch. At some point, I moved them to the end table.
And then they were gone.
Saturday evening, Andy wanted his treat. I put Carter to bed, and Andy and Andy searched this place over a dozen times, trying to find those Jelly Beans. They found nothing. After search one, I came up to check on Carter. She was still awake, barely, and in her super-sweet-and-smiley bedtime mode. I snuggled in, and asked her about the Jelly Beans. I said, "Did you take Daddy's Jelly Beans?" She smiled the sweetest little grin and shook her head yes. I asked, "Did you eat Daddy's Jelly Beans?" I got the same sweet-smiled nod and a giggle.
This morning, Andy asked, and she said she knew where they were. She led him on a wild-goose chase, peeking behind chairs and under toys, but finding nothing. If she took them, she must have eaten them all (Andy thought there were "about 100" left) and the bag, too! If she hid them, she's done an amazing job at it!
Are these the same jb's that she brought to us in the baggie while we were there? The ones from Andy's secret stash...she actually brought us two bags! They were on the kitchen counter when I left, I remember them being there when we were eating the Crispie bars. Hmmm....lemme know how that all turns out for you!
They're the second bag she brought - the ones in the Jelly Belly's bag. They WERE on the kitchen counter where I put them all, but magically and mysteriously, they are gone. Who knows!
