Have you checked under your couch lately? Because I can almost promise you that it does not have near as many treasured finds as mine just did. Ahem.
While I was away at the store my husband decided that he was going to rip apart the living room.
*aka: move the couch and clean underneath it.
I actually just thought he was letting SJ take the cushions off and play with them. At least that is what the scene looked like when I arrived at home…
But, then I noticed he had the vacuum out.
*Rare occasion*
I was pleasantly surprised.
And then…I see this giant bag of toys sitting on the kitchen counter. It struck me as odd because I was wondering where they had come from. Random items such as: Bible flash cards, drum sticks, fake pizza, a boat, underwear, a few cheetos, a Christmas bow, and legos.
A strange combination.
He politely told me…”Yea, those toys…were ALL under this couch. All of them. Every single last one of them. Oh, and 5 markers that I already put away.“
HA!
It’s safe to assume that I don’t clean under the couch very often. I guess I need to start adding that to my weekly “to-do” list.
Have you checked under your couch lately? I am curious to know what you might find!

LOL! Too funny! My favorite is finding sippy cups full of spoiled milk under my couch!! Only God knows how long they’ve been there!! Sometimes I am half tempted just to throw them in the trash because I can’t bare to open them!!

That’s funny! We had to flip our couch over recently to fix the recliner pull string thing and I found a handful of my daughters hair bows my hair ties! Haha! I guess we both take our hair down when we are snuggled on the couch!

Haha. I stay away from the underside of our couch as much as possible, between child toys AND dog toys…and Lord knows what else. 😉

Under our couches is a dirty, dusty mess! I really need to move them and vacuum the floor. I can look under there right now and see a bunch of random balls from Landon’s various ball popper toys, puzzle pieces, cat toys, and other random plastic junk. I’m too lazy to clean it all out, but I need to 🙂

My hubby moved our couch recently to clean underneath. Lets just say that it wasn’t pretty!

My aunt gave us a couch a few years ago, and when we were moving it into the house, we could hear that something was down inside it. It turned out to be about 6 universal remotes. They just kept buying new ones, I don’t know why it never occurred to them to look for the lost remotes in their couch. There were also lots of chapsticks, necklaces, and even some pictures.

I know we probably have about 47 balls, 10 cars, crayons, spoons, cheerios, fruit snacks, socks, etc…
I can’t move our couch alone and really if it is under there less to clean up!
