Your and Nia's baby clothes. Look.

Baby clothes? I was looking for these jeans.
Yeah, well,

Well, I made her something very special, too.

It's a collage using old photos.
Oh, I see. It's Raven's profile. Look!
There I am, in her nose.
I made her this macaroni bracelet.

We had a lot of expired pasta.
Oh, Aunt Chels, I have a list of party supplies

Oh, we don't need to buy supplies. No.
Raven hides them all around the house for emergencies.

Yeah, but it would help if we could throw her off track somehow.
Or next time, she'll catch us for sure.
That's it!
Yes, Levi, we have to make sure that she catches us.
That's not what I said,
