The Case of the Missing Peanuts a.k.a Chipmunks Continued...

I bought some shelled peanuts at Hy-vee and put them in a bowl on the island. The boys (Matt included) were eating them up pretty quick. Almost too quick. WHERE were all the nuts going?
The next day while getting the kids ready for bed, I noticed this box hiding in Jay's room.



Me: "What's in the box?"
Jay: "Asher did it."
Asher from the bathtub: "No I didn't, Jay did!"

(I'm sure that's why the box is in Jay's room smooshed between Jay's bed & wall...I'm calling it a group effort.)

Me: "Well, what's IN the box?"
Jay: "Nuts."
Me: "The peanuts?! (light bulb flashes on in Jamey's brilliant brain)
Jay: "We are storing nuts for the winter!"
Little voice from bathtub: "I'm Alvin!"
Jay: "No, I'm Alvin!"
Me: "Mmmkay, yeah, let's keep food in the kitchen."

Can't fault the kid for working on his food storage, but we ARE working on not throwing little brother under the bus, and vice versa.
