it seems we have the 5 year old female version of opie taylor living in our home. this kid never comes home without a multitude of treasures hidden in her pockets and backpack: marbles, rocks, feathers, "crystals", butterfly wings, pine-cones, fishin' worms and a few discoveries i don't quite recognize. she rarely empties those pockets completely before her clothes hit the laundry basket, but - no worries here. i've actually grown quite fond of the metallic ping ping in the dryer. the challenge has been finding a suitable home for her growing collection. the old sock drawer storage wasn't working anymore. (and i was getting a little tired of the petrified butterfly in the tupperware container showing up in odd places...). i wanted something plastic and transparent that was large enough to hold a whole kindergarten year's full of findings. i finally found this container at walmart, and labeled it with some scrapbook stickers. opie is so proud of her treasure jar and has been begging me to let her take it for show-n-tell. i sure hope there will be extra show-n-tell time that day if that ever happens....
