"Daddy, we found your wedding ring!"

These are the words Alex proudly said to Peter this afternoon. The wedding ring has been missing for about a month. Peter vaguely remembers being asleep on our bed and our own little swiper came and snagged his ring. He was out-of-it enough to not be able to get up and follow Campbell, I mean swiper. So for a month it has been missing in our house along with my palm pilot.
I had given up on finding my palm and had actually shopped last week for a new phone that has a calendar on it. Lo and behold, right before we left for the lake on Friday afternoon, Alex walked up and handed me my palm pilot. I was so happy and was kissing him all over and thanking him (it had been hidden behind the couch). Daddy then made the offer that when his wedding ring was found we would all go for ice cream sundaes, anything goes.
Well, tonight was that night! This afternoon while Alex played in his room, he dipped his hand down into a toy bucket and the ring slid onto his thumb. Alex was ecstatic and couldn't wait to call daddy. Tonight we celebrated at the new Baskin Robbins.
Our Campbell is something else. She is one cute and independent little girl. One minute she is innocently playing and the next she is wandering off with rings and palm pilots. God love her. I sure do.

Awesome - Alex must be happy to find the "prize" and get the ice cream. You need to put a tracking system on anything Campbell touches... :)
