I went outside to start the laundry in the morning, and saw a red Lego man lying on the ground near our side wall. I thought that it must have come from the neighbor boy who lives on that side of us, and I was surprised that Trixie hadn't found it and chewed it up. She loves hard plastic things! He even still had his two ninja swords on his back.
The boys took it later over to the neighbor's house to return it, but he said that it wasn't his. He didn't know where it came from either. Since we had no idea where it came from, we just let the boys keep it and they were thrilled to add it to their Lego collection.
The next morning I went outside for my normal morning routine of laundry and noticed Trixie busily chewing on something. Upon investigation, it was another Lego man! This one, however, wasn't as lucky as the first, and he lost his legs in the incident. Another man to add to the collection...well, half a man!
The boys came up with all kinds of theories as to where these Lego men came from. Everything from the tooth fairly to birds picking them up and dropping them off. It was amusing to hear them come up with explanations. One idea was that someone was walking by with them and dropped them, but since we have a wall and gate around our house, that seemed unlikely.
We never solved the mystery, and they were slightly disappointed when on the third morning I didn't find any more!
