Day 98 - Authentic 26

I mentioned that I toss items onto my bed as I find them during the day. Usually the end up in a couple of boxes on the floor next to the bed, sorted into groups so I can post like items each day. Yesterday we were home all day long and the pile of stuff accumulated like usual. I thought it would be interesting to post the miscellaneous assortment of one real, full day of twenty-six items.


1. A sweater I really love, but we are trying to trim down the outerwear our girls have to 2 coats (one heavy, one lighter) and 2 zip sweatshirts/jackets/sweaters for those days when they don't need a coat. DD#2 doesn't often choose this one.
2 to 8. Books that are duplicates. Grandma picked up a bunch of Junie B. Jones and Magic Treehouse books for a quarter apiece. Many fit into our collection, but these were duplicates.
9. A CD of Al's Alphabet. Boring. The older girls told me I should put in P26.
10. A spray bottle that doesn't spray anymore.
11 & 12. Dress-up crowns that broke
13. An insert to a Rapunzel toy set that DD#2 has been saving and plays with. It ripped, I'm not fixing it, so it's gone.
14 & 15. Princess cake toppers from a long ago birthday cake
16. Part of a McDonald's toy
17. A fish-shaped sponge
18. A magnet piece for a long-gone book
19. A blue animal stamp that just isn't worth the fights and scrubbing it results in
20. Infant-sized bracelet
21. Non-breakable crayon without a crayon inside
22. Water bottle full of rice and bits of stuff - class art project
23. Diaper cover DD#4 has outgrown
24. Fake flower - will these ever end? I was sure I had gotten all of them.
25. Crown to something or other
26. Bit of sponge from another class project
