Random stuff that must be kept

Fitting six months of our life into four suitcases is...

a challenge

Actually, correct that... it's impossible.  We had to buy another bag.  We now have five suitcases.

You know what takes up the most room?

The damn toys.

We have one suitcase just for toys.  

I'll admit it now - I "accidentally" left some behind.  Santa Claus underestimated the size of some of the gifts (honestly, what were you thinking Santa).  Let's hope this doesn't come back and bite me in the bum later.

It will though...

"I have no idea where enormous talking T-Rex went?"

"Must have got lost on our way home"...

Master 4 gets EXTREMELY upset when things are lost.  

He already has plans to come back to the USA "when I am a grownup" just to find a Matchbox ute he lost at the park one day.

It doesn't help that Master 4 also wants to keep all sorts of random stuff.

Like...

Leaves, bits of bark, sticks, weird balloon swords, icicles, the wrapper from his museli bar that now apparently looks like a boat, pine cones, rubber bands, bits of string, shells

It is imperative that these things are kept safe.

There is now a dedicated pocket in one of the suitcases for The Randoms That Must Be Kept.

I think he is MacGyver or something.

I mean, there are countless tricky situations where a balloon sword and a rubber band would be handy...right?
