Do you see a problem with this toy basket that Karen put together for the grandsons?
The problem is that, since Karen doesn't cook, she doesn't think about returning the items to the kitchen!
One day, Karen could hear Leah rummaging through the kitchen, but assumed it didn't concern her. Then Leah called out to me (who was much further away) "Dad, I can't find any spatulas!" She hadn't even thought to ask her mom.
A few days later, I was making brownies for Karen's stampers, and I had to announce to Karen "It would sure be nice have some measuring cups around here!"
Karen has gotten better at returning those items to the kitchen…..sort of.
oh my goodness…. this makes me giggle. I can see you shaking your head at her Tim!
