Honey packets. <BR/><BR/>Once I picked up his very heavy backpack and said, "what do you have in here, rocks?"<BR/><BR/>"Yes!" he giggled and sure enough, he had about six medium sized rocks in there, culled from the playground.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11849791052255234265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637156.post-26965962385268704702009-01-17T12:25:00.000-05:002009-01-17T12:25:00.000-05:00I love it!

We had a lot of trees and always had sticks on the lawn - but if we were at the park and he saw a "good" stick he would have to bring it home. When we moved to our new home, and were in the process of cleaning out rooms we found rocks everywhere in his room - big ones mostly. It's a wonder his floor held up with all those rocks hidden under his bed!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231046548406452925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637156.post-31618199683168913062009-01-15T11:55:00.000-05:002009-01-15T11:55:00.000-05:00i am the mom of 7. my artist did the same with pen...i am the mom of 7. my artist did the same with pencils - he would make them so small you couldn't hold them. and the point was always so sharp. i saved many ina jar that i love to look at now. he is old now - not so much of an artist...i miss teh fun days of those pencils and mini sketch pads.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637156.post-38668339995421841972009-01-15T01:04:00.000-05:002009-01-15T01:04:00.000-05:00My collection: postcards, from any and all family ...My collection: postcards, from any and all family and friend's vacations.

It was next to impossible to stop because it was the whole class. I must have confiscated 100 tiny snippets of pencil. At the time I thought I would loose my pencil pick'n up'n mind!

I wonder what it is about boys and little pencils?<BR/><BR/>My 9 year old also has a little "secret" box hidden in his room full of twistie ties. He picks up a few every time we make a trip to the grocery as well as taking them off the bread in the pantry, etc. He only likes the the little paper covered wire ones and I'm not really sure what he is planning to do with them but I'm sure he's got big plans! :-)Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17985369157709927682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637156.post-11141885903621943222009-01-14T11:07:00.000-05:002009-01-14T11:07:00.000-05:00HAHA!!

Most of them end up in the wash machine and then when I try to throw them outside Ben tells me "That's the prettiest rock ever Mommy and I brought it in just for you." How can you argue with that???<BR/><BR/>Go ice & heat your neck (not at the same time, of course) and QUIT SNIFFLING!!! :-) Hope you feel better soon!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606131327600041337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637156.post-38824286939492289912009-01-14T10:51:00.000-05:002009-01-14T10:51:00.000-05:00I remember keeping tiny pencils in elementary scho...I remember keeping tiny pencils in elementary school!
