inside a huge silver stock pot and way up high, in the back of one of the kitchen cabinets. I don't even want to know how he got up there. how did he get up there? how did he get his hands on a pot that I have to use a step stool to get to? I swear, I haven't had that big pot out in ages. I laughed out loud when I saw it and felt like taking a victory lap around the house. look buddy! I yelled. it's the butter! we found the butter! how in the world did you get up there? huh? HOW? he smiled that little closed mouth half-moon smile. I sorry mommy, he said. I din mean to, I SORREEEE! still with that half moon smile and me standing there, holding that tub of liquidy yellow goo, completely puzzled.
(if you're confused, read this and/or this)
that is sooooo funny! what a mystery!
ReplyDeleteoh, man, you have no idea how much i have loved every minute of the butter hunting. laughter galore around here! i think i'm as excited as you are that you found it! but the mystery still lives on... :)
ReplyDeleteyay!! wow. how does he do it? crazy...
ReplyDeleteBut how? How did he get UP there??
ReplyDeleteFanTAStic. I've been waiting with bated breath to see if you ever found the butter!
ReplyDeleteThis is my favourite Ezra story since the Buzz Lightyear going off in the trunk of the car incident. I love it. My kid has never done anything like this, but my husband often uses odd logic when putting things away. I once, after days of desperate searching, found my breast pump in a very similar stock pot. He also was unable to explain.
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud as soon as I saw the title! This has completely become dinner conversation... Heee,hee...
ReplyDeleteoh boy! this was just what i needed to come across today.
ReplyDeletea funny little happy ending.
big smiles here :)
I've been dying to know where that butter went!
ReplyDeletecheck his hands - maybe he's got spiderman webbing capabilities?? :)
ReplyDeleteso glad you found it.....
hallelujah!
ReplyDeleteAmazing...!!! I would've been losing sleep, I'm glad you found it.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I was lying in bed two nights ago, wondering if you'd found the butter yet!
ReplyDeletethat is such a crack up - such a great little story
ReplyDeleteIT IS FOUND! ...too bad you didn't have a nanny cam or something to catch that on tape!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen you had your back to him and you're all, Where dat butta at? he cocked back his little arm and chucked that butter up there. And then he's all, I din no where dat butta at.
ReplyDeleteyay! The suspense would have killed me. :)
ReplyDeleteHurray!
ReplyDeleteThe Butter Hunt saga stuck with us as well!
So glad you found it and yet also kind of happy Ezra still holds the key to the mystery! The Butter Hunt and the Buzz Lightyear story will always be his, always be told. What a cool gift to your family!

Oh, the little dickens. You really have to love kids. Because they won't let you sell them on eBay.
ReplyDeleteyep, this whole saga pretty much makes my day!
ReplyDeleteSooooooooo funny! Finally it came up! Ezra must be sooo thrilled with all this! Give him a hug from me!
ReplyDeletethis is possilbly the funniest story I've heard in a long, long time... I'll be thinking of it and no doubt will laugh out loud the next time I get out the earth balance! At least you have closure on this... you've found the butter... and it wasn't in your bra.. hee hee
