My friend, Miranda, and I purchased hairbows online. She brought them to me today at church and I was so excited. They looked so much better than the ones I made and they had a pretty knot in the center. I told Miranda I wish I'd ordered more white bows because we always seem to lose them. She agreed.
Meanwhile, Sydney and Abby were having a blast with Miranda's daughter, Haley. I was able to coherse Sydney to stop playing just long enough for me to try the white bow in her hair. As soon as I got it on her head, she took off, not wanting to miss anything. The girls were running around, giggling, drinking water from the water fountain, running in and out of the bathroom and then finally hiding behind the staircase of the children's building.
We finally left the building and once in the car and all buckled up, Abby announced, "Sydney lost her bow." (Translation: Sydney is supposed to make sure she doesn't lose her bows because I'm sure there is some rule out there that says we're NOT supposed to lose bows and boy do I love rules. Gee, I wonder where she gets it?)
Needless to say, our brand new, beautiful, center-knotted white bow was now missing. It was not in the carseat, the floorboard, under the car or on the sidewalk. I am now convinced it had fallen off when the girls were running around so hard. I went back to look under the staircase and the door to the children's center was locked.
So now I'm saddened we've misplaced the new white just-how-I-liked-it-with-a-knot-in-the-center hairbow. Just as I was sad when Sydney's left-foot shoe from her first pair of shoes disappeared from her feet and then when the right shoe from her next pair disappeared, too. I also felt that way about the denim jacket that Abby had this year that we never located. We couldn't even remember the last place we had it. Oh, and there is a sippy cup out there somwhere I would love to get the inchbug label off of!
When I get to heaven, I want to ask the Lord where all of our missing things ended up. I will most likely not care once I'm in His presence though I sure am curious now! With His help, I'll find THIS bow and all will be well again in bowland.

OH NO! And it looked so pretty in her hair! We did see you turn around and go back to the building-I was wondering what you may have left inside! I'm certain there won't be too many more people going behind the staircase between now and next week...it will be there! You can always call Nicky and ask her to go check for you when she gets there on Tuesday---sorry for volunteering you if you read this, Nicky! Or better yet--ask Matt Kelley. We all know he LOVES big hair bows!
I feel the same way about bows, mostly because they cost a bunch of money for a little bit of ribbon. We have lost several really nice bows and-this is the worst-a beautiful smocked dress that my mom made for MD.
