You know, Owen and Lily have SOOOO much in common! To keep Lily from bringing rocks in the house all the time, I gave her a plastic jar. She puts her rocks in there, and she can enjoy them OUTSIDE!
I have a rock boy at my house too (Jude.) I finally had to cave and let him keep some of the "special" rocks inside and the rest go out in the "rock garden" by the front door! It didn't help matters that my mother left him all of her precious rocks when she passed away!
And then there's Simon who brings home "treasures" from school every day (bottle caps, plastic spoons, wood chips, nails, unidentifiable objects etc...) Gotta love the collector kids!
Wow! Owen is quite the pack rat :) His puppy is so worn!
