We’ve been thinking a lot about immigration here at fortytwentyfour…no not that; although Los Suns are now our favorite basketball team.
We’ve actually been thinking a lot about the recent group of immigrants who appeared during our housewarming. Our friends Andrew and Jen (possibly with accomplices?) bought a bunch of odd little plastic figurines and hid them around the house for us to discover over what appears to be the rest of our lives.
Typical of our recent conversations:
Me: “I found another figurine”
Catty: “Where? I found another one as well.”
Me: “In the spare toilet paper rolls, where was yours?”
Catty: “Hidden inside of the salt pig.”
We’re fairly certain we’ve found most of these little guys—there’s a fairly massive collection on the kitchen island. But we’ve already started to make plans on how to use them—we have a plan, but it’s top secret.
Here’s a few examples of what we’ve been finding:
A frightened (and frightening) cat
A Canadian Mounty and Red Rooster
Kitchen suprises
A shocked…nun?
Keeping watch over the CD collection
Escapees from Canada and China
Crazy cat lady
Kitten amongst the jewelry
Mini toothpaste and another nun
A soldier and a tiny rabbit
This was a Just Add Water growing alligator (we found it in a spare bathtub)
A very creepy baby inside a vase
These were definitely the most interesting (and odd) housewarming gifts we received, and can’t wait to implement our plans for the future with these little guys.

LoL. This is sooo something I would do to a friend. ;o)
What a fun idea! Your friends rock!
@ Makiko: We're totally doing this from now one. I better start buying these little things in bulk.
@ HisBirdie: They do, don't they?
We're obsessed with finding them all. Everytime I go into a room I look in weird places for a rouge figure. They told us there are a few we probably won't find for a few months.
Hilarious! I have to do this to someone... although where we'd get figurines of a nun being held up at gunpoint i have no idea...
So remember when you found me standing in a dark bathroom, Catherine? I was looking around trying to see what I could find. And then you walked in, and caught me. Hilarious.
@ Cathleya: When I find out where to get the gunpoint nun, I'll let you know.
@ Dani: And here I thought you were strange. It all makes sense now. OK, you are still strange but then you are friends with us. :)
Super fun.
This is so charming! I love it :)
