Where's McK?

It's 11:30 p.m. and I make my rounds of checking on my boys one last time before I crash into bed...and steal a few un-protested kisses. But when I got to checking on McK this is what I found:



"Ohhh..how cute, he's snuggling with Logan." I thought. McK sometimes succumbs to Logan's squawks and will go in and try to help him go to sleep. When I opened Logan's door, this is what I found:



Yes, Logan was awake! He has been been on a weird schedule lately and it's driving me tired! So after I got roped into singing a song and snuggling, I continued my search for McK. I thought maybe he is on the floor in my room. McK frequently tries to sleep in our room by hiding under the covers on the floor or even on the bed. So I checked and found this.



Nothing.....which is really rare since my room is always a mess. After I shake off the surprise of nothing on my floor, I direct my efforts back to McK. At this point I think McK is playing a trick and is hiding or something but at the same time I'm thinking he has got to asleep somewhere. So I decided to check in the last strange place that McK has been known to sleep and so I checked the office where we have Claire's portacrib set up.



Now I'm starting to panic. Where is he? I try to remember where I saw him last in my house. I remembered helping him do a load of laundry (per his request) so he could wash some stuffed animals he won as a prize from school. I left him watching his animals spinning around in our front loader washer. Was he waiting for the load to finish washing? I checked in the laundry room and this is what I found.






I laughed so hard when I saw this. Actually I'm still chuckling as I'm writing this post. He made himself a little nest out of the clean laundry basket (thankfully).  I don't know how he fit in the basket but the only thing hanging out was his head. He looked completely comfy but I thought he might have a kinked neck in the morning, so I had to wake Mark up to carry my 75lb lil' guy to bed. He is one most creative kids I know and I sure do love him and all the love and laughter he brings to our family.
