The Mystery of the Wandering Single Shoes

It turns out that our first REAL mystery to solve has been occurring at our house for some time now ... Avery tells me that this mystery started  before I was even born!!! I guess for years now shoes have had a habit of wandering from where they were originally placed and turning up in the most unusual of places ...

 Shoes left neatly and orderly one night ...

 ... turn into an overturned mismatched pair the next morning!

I had noticed that single shoes were are always littered 
throughout the house (I just thought that's the way 
Mommy and Daddy kept the house) ... 
single shoes were always castaway through the kitchen ...

... all around the entertainment room ...

... thrown-about in the laundry room ...

... to even discarded into the wilderness of the backyard!!!

So I (Emery here on the case) decided to take an approach that Avery has used in the past (see http://averyclaire.blogspot.com/2008/10/avery-saves-mommys-career.html) to extract the needed information.

Emery chasing down some leads ...

... and getting very familiar with 
some shoe's last known occupants!

Since sucking on toes didn't necessarily seem to help find any 
real answers, Emery decided to sleep on it for the night ...


... only to discover the same pattern emerging 
once again the very next day!!!

Who was the mastermind behind all this activity ... ghosts, bullies, troublemakers?!?!?! Rest assured that Emery and Avery are on the case and we always solve the mystery!!!

Ha! That is so funny! The same thing happens in our house too - I find one shoe far from it's mate. Of course, now DD can only wear one shoe since she's in a boot for a broken foot, but it happens even when she has two good working feet. Haven't figured out the mystery yet.

I would start simple, track that big dog and see what he does on a typical day.
