I'm gonna have my hands full

So as I go farther along in my pregnancy my fingers continue to get a little more swollen. They aren't that bad yet but my wedding rings don't fit anymore. So usually I can wear my rings that fit my other had that is a little bit bigger. I of course take them off to give Gavin a bath or handle raw meat or something really gross. I have two. A ring I bought in Israel that Josh has a matching one. And a little skinny silver band with a single pearl on top. It's one of my favorites. So you can imagine my frustration as after a couple days  of looking and coming up with nothing. I would try to brush it off and figure that they would turn up somewhere. I even asked my mom and husband if they had seen my rings. Nobody had seen them any time recently. I eventually bought a replacement wedding ring at Walmart for like 8 dollars. I would go back through the house every so often and look in all the places that I could have taken them off and........nothing. I hope you feel the intense amount of time and frustration that I had put into looking for these two rings. So the other night I am getting Gavin ready for bed and I'm looking on his dresser for my rings and decide to look behind the dresser. This gets my sweet little boy's attention. He says, "mommy what are you doing?" I tell him I'm looking for my rings, (which they are not behind the dresser). Gavin: "Oh I know where they are! I hid them!" as he runs out of the room smiling and laughing!!!!! I'm like what?????????? He runs right over to wear he hid them behind the air hockey table and pulls them out and hands them to me with the biggest smile on his face!!! I'm totally shocked that he would think to even do that! Like what was going on in his mind to see my rings sitting there and think he should go HIDE them?????? But then even more than that....it had to have been at least 3 weeks that I was looking for these things and he didn't hesitate in knowing exactly what he had done with them! He's getting more and more clever and devious the longer we live here with my father. We need to get out of here fast!!!! :)

haha that is crazy! Silly Gavin. I can imagine the frustration of searching. I'm glad Charlie hasn't done that, but I just wish he would remember where he puts his favorite Lightening McQueen since we ending up searching for it every.single.day, haha.
