A Silly Little Thing

During winter, Matt has certain things he leaves on the second floor at the end of the day or in the morning that he uses downstairs when he arrives home at night. When I notice them during the day, I try to remember to relocate them from upstairs to downstairs so he doesn't have to go up in search of them when he gets home.

One of the items is his iPad, but that's a year-round item that he moves from place to place. Now that it's turned cold, his house shoes is another of those things.

Recently while I was upstairs, noticing his house shoes by the bed, I remembered that he'd begun leaving his house shoes, on rare occasion, in the entry hall by the bench. Not wanting to run downstairs just to move that one thing and not wanting to forget, I took advantage of this feature in our home: 

 Standing in front of our bedroom door upstairs, you see our 2nd floor hallway. The railing straight ahead overlooks our foyer. 

This is the view looking over the rail.

I dropped Matt's house shoes over the rail to the first floor and hit the red rug in front of the bench :) Today was the second time I dropped them to their spot and I couldn't help but smile.

I LOVE being able to drop soft things from the second to the first floor :) It's a silly little thing, but sometimes it's the little things that make me smile.
