One pink boot.
I'm quite sure that all of you parents out there know the drill....you pack snowpants, boots, mittens, scarf, hat, etc...You do it diligently in the winter. You dont want your child to be the cold one (or if youre ME, you dont want to be viewed as one of THOSE parents). And at the end of the school/daycare day, you check that all of your things are returned home.
SO, I arrive home on Thursday evening and I see one lonely pink boot in Danielle's back pack. I dont panic yet, because history says that the other one is probably laying somewhere else in the house.
Brian looks at me and I can tell that he has something to tell me. And I can tell that its not a good thing either. All he can say is "we got one boot". What he means is that we have one boot left. Apparantly, Danielle and her friends were out for second recess and she somehow, someway, got "shoved" into a snow pile. A deep one. Her two feet, with two boots went into the snowpile. To her dismay, one booted foot came out and one BARE foot came out. She lost her boot and sock in a snow pile.
Per the report of my 6 year old...."we looked for my boot in the hole Mommy". Apparantly, the pile of snow ATE the boot. Danielle adds..."Even Mr. Maintenance went outside with a shovel Mommy, but he couldt find it. He digged (sorry to all the English majors in the family) and digged, but he never found my pink boot." How do you lose a bright pink boot in a pile of white snow? How are they NOT able to find the boot? When the snow melts, there better be a bright pink boot (with a sock) sitting there on the playground.
Danielle received a piggy back ride into the school from Mrs.Drogscz.
Thank goodness that we still have last years boots....even more thank goodness that they still sort of fit. (also pink).
Moral of the story....stay away from the snowpile on your way in from recess.

Update from the return home from school on Friday....Still no boot.

So many questions...so few answers.
Apparently Danielle knew the answer to "How do you lose a bright pink boot in a pile of white snow?"
Perhaps you should offer a reward. During the next recess all the children could go out dig for the "treasure".
On the bright side Danielle did not lose a tooth in the snow.
Busia (who thinks the whole episode is pretty funny)
Now the thing to do is tell the school that there was a $50 bill in said boot. And since they were responsible for keeping eye on child and boot, they need to cough it up!!!

Stay away from snowpiles...check!
What about "goosepiles?"

I freak out when it's a mitten...I couldn't imagine a boot...let alone she was wearing at the time. Yay for Mrs.Drogscz.
