Has anyone seen Kayla?

Last week, the girls informed me that they lost one of their dollhouse dolls "Kayla". I don't know one doll from the other, but they seemed to know which one was missing. That afternoon Alex came to the kitchen and asked me for a piece of tape, being the lazy mom that I can be (and trusting!), I gave her the whole roll of tape. I went downstairs a bit later and found 8 pieces of paper taped to the wall (and the girls weren't done!). The papers were taped up with 4 pieces of tape - each at least 4-5 inches long! Needless to say, I didn't get that roll of tape back. Today, as I finally got around to taking the pieces of paper down from the wall, I noticed one said "Have you seen Kayla" while the others had a picture of a girl or a scribbling from Alex. I asked the girls who the girl was and what Alex's notes said. I already knew their answer would be Kayla...sure enough, it was! Thursday, while I was doing laundry, Alex ran in...too excited to talk...she said "Katie found Kayla!!!!" and ran back out. Even Mom & Dad knew that she was missing. Maybe they heard about it on the 10:00 news!

All I can say is, HILARIOUS! The girls are quite resourceful aren't they? I know who to come to if I ever lose anything. :)

This totally warmed my heart! So funny and sweet and sensitive! I'm happy to hear how thrilled Alex was to find Kayla (as am I!) Sure makes me miss you even more, though! xo
