Caroline's Lost Sponge Story

This week, Amy took the kids to a place where they decorated cupcakes. In addition to the cupcakes, both kids came home with a souvenir sponge. They loved their sponges and were excited how they were thin when dry and thick when wet. Caroline has carried her sponge around for several days now.

Today, Caroline insisted on taking her sponge to her Sunday School class despite my best efforts to convince her that leaving it in the car was a better idea.When we picked the kids up after church, the teachers were very apologetic saying they did not know what happened to the sponge. Caroline had carried it around the entire time even when playing outside. The teachers said they saw a boy in her class try to take it but they thought Caroline got it back. With the sponge no where to be found, the teachers thought that boy must have walked off with it.

We were surprised Caroline could have lost something. She normally does an excellent job keeping track of her stuff. We didn't let Caroline know that her sponge was lost since we didn't want to make a scene and church. We thought we'd just give her Caden's sponge once we got home.

While we were getting ready to leave church, Caroline, Caden, and I were playing. All of a sudden, the sponge fell out of Caroline's skirt! She had tucked it into her underwear so she wouldn't lose it and the little boy wouldn't take it! I died laughing. I wish we had just asked Caroline where her sponge was.
